Two odd items: First off a month ago or so I manually installed 5.8.0-36 to move beyond the 5.4 series. I had left the last 5.4 kernel 5.4.0-69, on the system as a backup. A couple weeks later, an upgrade came the normal way for 5.8.0-38.
I hadn't seen any update since them so I checked and sure enough -40 to -48 were available but not offered as install candidates via apt. However, I was offered an update to 5.4.0-69 to -70 (which was new - I check updates daily). I decided to install 5.8.0-48 and totally remove the 5.4 series.
The install of 5.8.0-48 was no problem but trying to remove 5.4.0-60 was a mess. at least a dozen cross-depends with the 5.8 series like cloud-tools, modules-extra and more. This make no sense to me as they are different kernels and shouldn't be blended like that AFAIK. Especially when the conflicts were labeled 5.4.0-. Basically it wouldn't let me remove linux-image-5.4.0-69-generic without installing linux-image-5.4.0-69-unsigned in it's place.
Not to be dictated to, I did it anyway and uninstalled everything relating to the 5.4 series.
Then I installed 5.8.0-48 and rebooted - which failed. No problem, rebooted into 5.8.0-38 and restored my morning snapshot (took all of 15 seconds - BTRFS rocks and EXT4 sucks) and rebooted. This time I just installed the 5.8.0-48 kernel and rebooted - still failed. So apparently 5.8.0-48 is broken with regards to Neon.
I haven't gone back and tried again to remove 5.4.0-70 now (I let it upgrade) but it sure seems odd that 54. and 5.8 are that closely tired. Seems wrong actually.
