    kali5 vs kali6

    Hello everyone. New to the forums and kali in general.
    Is there a difference between kali5 and kali6? Woke up this morning with my comp not being able to find my sata drive. Did nothing different last night. Tinkered around a little bit and I loaded up kali5 from the menu instead of kali6 and everything went back to normal. Is kali6 a new release that's not quite ready yet? Or do I need to load it properly? Wondering if I did something incorrectly or maybe an update didn't happen properly. I tried googling around and found absolutely nothing. Any help is appreciated.

    Cheers

    Hi. You are probably talking about kernel 6.x vs. the older 5.x kernel?

    Code:
    ┌──(a-men㉿shiva)-[~]
    └─$ uname -a
    Linux shiva 6.0.0-kali6-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.0.12-1kali1 (2022-12-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
    
    
    ┌──(a-men㉿shiva)-[~]
    └─$ cat /etc/*release
