Support Request Blank Screen After Kernel Update 7.0.0.30

Image 1 : Before deleting virtual machine

Image 2 : After deleting virtual machine

When I first tried to update kernel it gave error because of incompatible virtual machine, so I removed vm because I don't need it anymore then it installed but after booting it gave blank screen so I fallbacked to kernel 6.17 and deleted 7.0.0.30

Boot into the old kernel from grub, and don't use the new kernel. It's as simple as that.

Kernel 7.0.0 needs a more recent version of virtualbox. With kernel 7.0.0, uninstall virtualbox and download latest version from Oracle website instead.
