I am using Ubuntu 16.04. After system update, I was prompted to reboot, but I chose to reboot later. However, due to a sudden power off, I didn't have the chance to reboot the system properly. Then comes the problem. I can't boot with the default newest kernel 4.13.0-39.

Error message: " Failed to start load Kernel Modules"

But manually choosing an older version like 4.13.0-38 is ok.

Anyone can help fix the problem? Thanks in advance!

Easy way

Run the command:

sudo apt install -f

It will fix anything it can that is broken. Anything it can't fix it will report to you which you can update into your question. If everything is OK next run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

You can wait until kernel 4.13.0-40 comes out. Simply use it and forget about 4.13.0-39 altogether. Just remember after booting 4.13.0-40 don't run sudo apt autoremove because then you will lose your working backup kernel 4.13.0-38.

After you have both 4.13.0-40 and 4.13.0-41 installed you can run sudo apt autoremove to delete kernel 4.13.0-38 (and everything older).


More complicated

You can also manually purge 4.13.0-39 (How do I remove old kernel versions to clean up the boot menu?) and reinstall it:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-image-4.13.0-39-generic linux-headers-4.13.0-39-generic linux-headers-4.13.0-39
