You could try a vanilla 4.19.5 from https://www.kernel.org/
and compile it with your current .config.

If you still see the errors, at least the Ubuntu-kernel could be ruled out.

In addition, if you still see the errors:

- backup your .config in a *different* folder (so that you can later re-use 
it)
- do a "make mrproper" (deletes the .config, see above)
- do a "make defconfig"
- and compile the kernel with that new .config

If you still have the problem after that, you may want to learn how to bisect. 
;)

So long!

The truth always turns out to be simpler than you thought.
