[SOLVED] Power cut during upgrade

I am running an almost fully updated Excalibur. This morning there were 108 packages to update. I lost power with about 5 packages to install. On reboot I get a message about no functioning init found with the 6.10.9 kernel, 6.10.6 boots fine. After start up there were 4 broken packages all to do with gtk which I fixed with sudo dpkg --configure -a.

Everything is working fine but 6.10.9 remains unbootable. What should I do now to fix that?

The random guess is that it got interrupted in the "middle" of preparing the initramfs, and then perhaps it gets sorted with a simple:

# update-initramfs -u -k all
