[Bug 2091941] Re: Unable to boot as a guest on VMware ESX

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux/6.8.0-53.55 kernel in
-proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug
with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag
'verification-needed-noble-linux' to 'verification-done-noble-linux'. If
the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-
linux' to 'verification-failed-noble-linux'.


If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.


See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
