Can't boot after upgrading to 510 driver on Ubuntu 20.04

I had same problem this morning and fixed it by doing

sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic
sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-modules-nvidia-510-generic
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

I was on 5.4.0-97 kernel and install-recommends linux-generic brought me to 5.4.0-99, maybe that was it.
