Incomplete update of linux kernel 6.17.0-14 resulting in Kernel Panic

You can edit Grub so that it always appears.
Then, it’s easy to select an alternative kernel or even UEFI settings.

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Here’s an example:-

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 # or however many seconds for your own comfort
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`( . /etc/os-release; echo ${NAME:-Ubuntu} ) 2>/dev/null || echo Ubuntu`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Don’t forget to run:-

sudo update-grub
