6.12.4 and 6.12.5 fail to boot

Following a few updates, two new versions got added to my Grub loader, at the moment I am only able to boot into 6.11 as .12 consistently fails with the following messages:

Booting `Fedora Linux (6.12.5-200.fc41.x86_64) 41 (KDE Plasma)’

error: …/…/grub-core/fs/fshelp.c:257:file
`/initramfs-6.12.5-200.fc41.x86_64.img’ not found.

Upon hitting any key, after a few seconds I get:

KERNAL PANIC!
Please reboot your computer.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

I’m still new to Linux, so I have no idea how to resolve this yet, and hope I can find the necessary advice here, as web searches have so far produced no results.

Thanks in advance!

Same issue here…Good know I’m not alone but also it sucks that no one seems to care. LOL. Thanks FEDORA! I regret installing this OS every day…

This tends to happen when dkms fails OR when reboot of machine happens before dracut has completed …
boot to known working kernel then dracut --regenerate-all -p should do the trick

Hello everyone, i’m having the same issue, trying to boot with 6.12.6-200 kernel gives me kernel panic error.
In the grub i have 2 kernel options to choose from, but theese don’t work either, they try to boot but get stucked on the booting screen.
i can boot from a live usb stick and try to modify on the boot partition what’s wrong. Can you please tell me what to do? i really want to save this fedora installation without having to format everything.

Hey David, did you try the command Einer shared? I’ll drop it below if you hadn’t:

dracut --regenerate-all -p

I tend to go with:
sudo dracut --regenerate-all -p --force

This way, few errors appear, I’ve had a good track record with this one, as it seems every kernel update is failing for my build, I should probably look into this.

More information on this command.
