What is/are your question(s)?

I updated my Raspberry Pi with sudo apt upgrade and also did rpi-update to get the latest Kernel as I do every so often

But, this time it broke Genmon. Has anyone experience the same issue with the latest Raspbian patches?

If I try restart, this is the output, but Genmon does not load

And I also tried running /genmonmaint.sh -i, no luck. I don't see any glaring issues

Yep, that solved it. Sorry for the dupe thread

Why on EARTH would they decide to change the serial name? Unreal

It is probably a bug in the upgrade. I would guess it to be fixed in the next few weeks
