After Kernel Panic - System Update Failed

I reported a Kernel Panic yesterday and I’ve heard there is a fix, but I’m getting an error when trying to update:

Note: This system is image (rpm-ostree) based.

I’ve searched this forum, the Answer Overflow and the web but cannot find what to do next. Any help, please?

Have you tried the suggested --allow-downgrade option that is mentioned in the error.

Bazzite did revert the newest image yesterday to the old one, which propably is the reason you are seeing the error.

Thanks for helping.

I’m still a beginner, so I thought I can try that command after ujust update but that returns error: Justfile does not contain recipe –allow-downgrade

How would I go about it, please?

Try with rpm-ostree update --allow-downgrade

Thank you so much, it worked, you made my day.

Just if anyone needs this later, there is a small typo, the correct command is: rpm-ostree update --allow-downgrade
