Thu Mar 23 19:21:48 UTC 2023

@waveform,

I've tested on both aws and gcp, by installing the flash-kernel update
first, then installing the linux-generic kernel. Here's the apt-get
output:

$ apt-get install --yes kernel-testing--linux--full--generic

  3.106ubuntu12. I also see this on the latest google cloud images.
