Hi,
on 21.09.2022 updating ubuntu broke it with this bug.
Running on i386, dell latitude e7450 with ssd and ubuntu22.04.1, kernel 5.15.0-48 generic, x86.

After booting, I get the mtd device must be supplied etc etc error, and I am left with a terminal only version.

I have an important hint: as suggested above, it's a problem with some authentication stuff. Yesterday after the bad upgrade, I put the pc in suspend mode. When I re opened it, I failed to log in into my account (the graphical session was otherwise normal) in a funny way: when propmted the password, it was as if the Enter key was continuosly being pressedm and I could at most enter one single word.

I have seen from a link provided above that the i386 version has not been tested, which is indeed my version.

Running apt-cache policy systemd returns (roughly, cannot copy and past as I'm from another machine):
Installed 249.11-0ubuntu3.4
Candidate same

version tables has entries:
249.11-ubuntu3.4 500
249.11-ubuntu3

I have tried the other suggested actions but none worked.
I have failed in installing the proposed ubuntu3.6 version of systemd, goes beyond my skills, I would need more detailed instructions.
Otherwise is it possible to undo the update of 21.09.22?
