after attempting sudo apt upgrade on a fresh install of parrot os, new kernel update is present but trying to boot into it from grub gives gives me a kernel panic.

here is what i tried and with what errors ive been getting:

The following partially installed packages will be configured:
  apache2 linux-headers-6.5.0-13parrot1-amd64 linux-headers-amd64 
  linux-image-6.5.0-13parrot1-amd64 linux-image-amd64

im sure the error lies in the last lines:

i dont know what to do from here, sudo dpkg --configure -a & sudo apt --fix-broken install all result in the same issue, might be a configuration problem.

if you need any extra information let me know and thanks for your time

    My guess: the failed external dkms modules build prevents the initramfs file to be created. You could try manually: update-initramfs -c -k 6.5.0-13parrot1-amd64 (or replace -c with -u if it complains). This won't give you your expected network. – A.B Dec 22 '23 at 14:14
  • Welcome. As said @A.B the dkms built of rtl8188eus is blocked. Try to boot the previous kernel, remove dkms. Upgrade your system, then reinstall dkms. Rebuild the wifi driver manually. I can't answer because there are many failures in the system upgrade. – GAD3R Dec 22 '23 at 14:58
  • Posted on behalf of @JohnMuraguri : "Experiencing the same issue too a few minutes after upgrading my Parrot OS. apt -f install hasn't fixed it. Waiting for the result of dpkg --configure -a" – MC68020 Dec 22 '23 at 17:16

    thank you @A.B and @GAD3R for you suggestions, i purged dkms and rebuilt the wifi driver, now after trying again, the output after apt upgrade is ```Errors were encountered while processing: apache2 
    i tried ```sudo apt-get purge apache2*``` and ```apt-get install apache2

Non-configured linux-image and linux-headers are solved by:

  • Booting the previous kernel
  • Removing dkms
  • Upgrading the kernel
  • Reinstalling dkms
  • Building the rtl8188eus

To solve the following error:

dpkg: error processing package apache2 (--configure):
 installed apache2 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2

Run the following commands:

sudo apt clean
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/apache2 /tmp/
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq apache2

To solve :

W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/*

    perfect fixed all the problems, only problem im facing is with update-initramfs -c -k 6.5.0-13parrot1-amd64 which leaves me with update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.5.0-13parrot1-amd64 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/mtl_huc_gsc.bin for module i915 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/mtl_guc_70.bin for module i915 any suggestions? – xoity Dec 23 '23 at 06:13
  • @xoity Answer edited to solve the last problem. – GAD3R Dec 23 '23 at 12:24
