Bug Description

Less than one week ago, I suddenly has a issue with GRUB (kernel 5.15.0.71-generic). My English translation: Impossible to allocate the kernel's buffer (cannot allocate kernel buffer), french: 'erreur : impossible d'allouer le tampom du noyau').

I can only run Ubuntu (from the Advanced line of GRUB) with the previous kernel (5.15.0.70-generic). I don't remember any special change nor installation on my OS.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3400G.
