Your report right now contains too little information that we can
really act on. A couple of questions:

- Can you please provide the upgrade log for apt and dpkg so we see
  which packages were involved and in particular if we are talking
  about a dkms module failing to build. check /var/log/apt/term.log*
  and /var/log/dpkg.log* for the given upgrade.

- Please provide as well the list of installed packages, though the
  first item here would be helpful.

- Please provide full kernel log after the update, ideally for both
  before the kernel update and reboot and as well for the booted
  kernel after the update.
