not booting to new kernel
apt update/upgrade has installed several kernels since September but my system continues to boot to vmlinuz-5.4.0-802109090909-generic installed on September 9th. /boot/vmlinuz currently links to vmlinuz-5.4.0-89-generic. Why isn't this kernel selected?

Because 80210909090 is way bigger than 89.
No idea where you got that kernel from; it's not an identifier Ubuntu (Mint) kernels normally use. You'll want to boot into the Grub menu --- if you don't get it automatically at boot you tap Esc at the time the boot starts loading from disk on a UEFI system and hold down Left-Shift at that time on an old legacy system --- and manually choose a different kernel to boot from the Advanced Options submenu. Then remove the non-running kernels you don't want to have installed through Update Manager -> View -> Linux Kernels -> Remove Kernels, including that oddly numbered kernel, if it is listed there but I'll assume so.

I don't know. I use VirtualBox, an nvidia display driver, and a Hauppauge WinTV box but they all seem to work with the 5.4.0-89-generic I'm running now. The 80210909090 kernel wasn't installed by the Update Manager but has now been removed.
Thanks for the advice.

Re: not booting to new kernel
I do not understand what you are trying to say. Mint automatically boots to the highest number kernel and 802109090909 is a larger number than 89.jacobhenry174 wrote: ⤴Thu Oct 21, 2021 6:00 amYou have to re-configure the packages/drivers installed for latest kernel
OP probably has packages installed from another distribution. That is how others have ended up with "odd" kernels installed based on feedback I've received in the past.
