Ubuntu 20.04 Stucked during kernel 5.4.0-52-generic update

Gran Jacob - Hello

For diagnostic purposes - please post back the outputs of terminal commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt -f install
sudo dpkg -C
dpkg -l | grep linux-

-see then where we go -

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

sudo dpkg --configure -a

What is the output of the command

dkms status

How long did you wait for the command to complete before you declared it stuck? Just a few seconds or longer?

granjacob@Jacob:~$ dkms status

After "Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping..." ... pass 20 seconds, then stuck

granjacob@Jacob:~$ dkms status

Gran Jacob - humm ..

So, DKMS does not see the new 5.4.0-52 kernel.

What then is the installed states of the kernels.
post back:
dpkg -l | grep linux-
ls -al /usr/src/
ls -al /lib/modules/
ls -al /boot/

Also what does the package manager think of installed states ?
Post too:
sudo dpkg -C

-gots to be a reason-

I tryed to install kernel 5.9 as a solution but get the same result (STUCK).

5.9 Was installed using Deb files and command: dpkg -i *.deb

This is the output of the commands of Bashing-om

granjacob@Jacob:~$ sudo dpkg -C
[sudo] password for granjacob:
The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured.
They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure
menu option in dselect for them to work:
 linux-image-unsigned-5.9.0-050900-generic Linux kernel image for version 5.9.0
 linux-modules-5.9.0-050900-generic Linux kernel extra modules for version 5.9.

The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:
 linux-headers-5.9.0-050900-generic Linux kernel headers for version 5.9.0 on 6
 linux-image-5.4.0-52-generic Signed kernel image generic

In the GRUB appears the three versions: 5.4.0-52 (fails), 5.4.0-51 (working), 5.9 (fails)

The packages involved in the problem are
- the new versions of the kernel packages (5.4.0-52 and 5.9.0-050900)
- and amdgpu

From where did you download the amdgpu software? There might be a newer version that works better with the new kernel versions (maybe https://drivers.amd.com/drivers/linux/amdgpu-pro-20.40-1147286-ubuntu-20.04.tar.xz with amdgpu-dkms version 5.6.14.224-1147286).
