I updated the kernel of my Ubuntu 20.04 to 5.4.0-37-generic and when I reboot the system I always got the device not found and the system doesn't boot.

Ok, I've done some tuning and here's my fix.

  1. Make sure that from grub you can access previous versions of your kernel (eg. 5.4.0-31)
  2. Install Grub Repair and run it with proposed fix (by accessing the system with a previous version of the kernel)
  3. Reboot
  4. Install Grub Customizer
  5. Copy "quiet splash acpi=off $vt_handoff" and paste in the corresponding line of the kernel 5.4.0-37 script and on the kernel script for the default startup option. Even thought it's the same kernel, grub treat these scripts as different, so a change in the latter won't affect the previous
  6. Save the new configuration
  7. Run apt update and apt upgrade. You should see a new package called "intel microcode". Proceed with installation
  8. Reboot
  9. Here, in my case, the battery indicator has been replaced by the I/O icon and the laptop wouldn't switch off anymore
  10. Go back to the Grub Customizer. Delete quiet splash acpi=off $vt_handoff from the script for both kernel 5.4.0-37 and the default option
  11. Reboot

And...should be solved!
