Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 22.04

• linux-image-5.15.0-1073-aws - 5.15.0-1073.79
• linux-image-aws-lts-22.04 - 5.15.0.1073.73

Ubuntu 20.04

• linux-image-5.15.0-1073-aws - 5.15.0-1073.79~20.04.1
• linux-image-aws - 5.15.0.1073.79~20.04.1

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
