AI-suggested
A patch is available in linux-realtime kernel version 6.8.1-1026.27. Users should update their systems to this version and reboot to apply the fixes. Due to an ABI change, all third-party kernel modules must be recompiled and reinstalled after the update. Standard system upgrades will handle this automatically unless the standard kernel metapackages have been manually removed.
