All of a sudden cant log nor ssh to fedora 41

Hi, I a fedora 41 (which was migrated from fedora 39 10 days ago) which was working fine, all of a sudden RDP screen was blocked so I rebooted the VM.
Same thing happens, rebooted again I see that the boot process boot and chose 39 and not 41 as you can notice in the snapshot

so I go up and choose 41, I type “e” to have the command line

hoping to go to command line but it goes through until login screen which when I enter my password it just come back and cant log.

I tried ssh, same thing, no access

Another user ran into this issue and it was potentially related to a failed update. Perhaps the steps they took to fix it would work for your case as well?

Thanks Olivier, but how do I delete it If I cant log nor have a commandline nor ssh?
How do I force a commandlinne?

Can you get to a prompt in single user mode?

You could try this by adding single to the kernel line in grub (after or instead of rhgb quiet).

Ok I did add single and was able to have the command line.
I did
sudo ls -l /etc/

no nologin file

so what should be the next step/check? Thanks

Are you able to read the system logs from there, to check for errors that prevent a normal login?

Are you able to do a dnf update as a single user?

In which log I should search?
Here is what I get when I tried dnf update which is normal as it has not connection as it does not have an IP


As you can notice there is no IP

Hmm i see, i think it would be best if someone with more hands-on experience with these matters chimes in. I could do some random suggestions but they would be quite broad. You could use some more precise directions to get things moving forward.

In general, the system logs can be viewed with the journalctl command:

# see a list of recent system boots
$ journalctl --list-boots

# show a full log of the previous boot process 
$ journalctl -b -1

# filter the log to only show the level 'error' or higher:
$ journalctl -b -1 -p err

# [error levels]
# 0: emergency
# 1: alert
# 2: critical
# 3: error
# 4: warning 
# 5: notice
# 6: info
# 7: debug

Here is the output for

`journalctl --list-boots`

For the nd with -b -, -I -p err saw rst

You should mention details of the host OS and the VM software you use.

journalctl often produces very long lines which are truncated in your images. Use journalctl --no=hostname <args> |cat to wrap long lines. If you can find a way to post the messages as text so they are visible in web searches you will benefit from wider visibility (“given enough eyes, all bugs are shallow”).

Do you also have the SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade bios or use force_addr=0xaddr messages for older boots? This message is usually associated with the PIIX3 chipset and may be harmless, but configuring the VM with a different chipset may eliminate the noise.

Hi George, I cant copy paste from the terminal nor use the mouse to select or do anything.
Here is the output for
sudo journalctl -b -, -I -p err | cat
(running with --no-hostname did not work). Not sure how to change the chipset, this VM is running on Hyper-V

You could create a file and use sftp, etc. to send it to a working system or maybe wrote to a USB drive.

Which “Generation” are you using?

To create a file with entries related the ethernet configuration: journalctl --no-hostname -b -g eth0 |cat > jctl_eth0.text. You may see something like: “X renamed from eth0”, in which case you would then substitute the new name in the journalctl command line.

Edit: --no= should be --no-

Again, --n=hostname does not work, so I issued the command without


There is almost nothing

Do you mean hyper-v generation? if yes, it is generation 1

[from sudo journalctl --no-hostname -b -g eth0] (normally you don’t need sudo with journalctl). This is very odd, since ip a found eth0. What do you get from inxi -Nzxx?

George, as I have a full backup of the VM dated November , I deleted the current VM and restored the backup I had the same issue with the login screen but I was able to ssh into and see that it has an IP

and even I was able to RDP into the VM Still cant log when I try to connect directly when I use Hyper-v connect, after typing password, I go back to the login screen

Does the restored system still have the SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade bios or use force_addr=0xaddr messages?
If something in Fedora is closing the connection without killing the linux kernel there should be details. If you note the time, journalctl will allow you to view messages around that time. If the problem that breaks the login also breaks journalctl there may still be detail in dmesg.

One underlying cause of strange issues like this is some resource constraint. On bare metal that is often RAM or mass storage capacity. Hyper-V may impose additional constraints.

Yes SMBus error is still there. Here is the full cat of the
journalctl -b -l -p err | cat > journal.txt

Those are some weird errors you have there @eliassal, that flannel coredump might be a clue. It appears to be a 3rd party network layer for Kubernetes, which ties in with the system on a pretty low level. It’s causing the systemd process to crash which could explain both the login problems and the network interface going down like you encountered.

Since it’s not an official Fedora package, it might be good to disable or remove that first, to help isolate the cause.

Flannel is necessary for Kubernetes cluster to work, otherwise kubernetes services will fail.

and when I run
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide
It seems that there are no problems and all pods are up and running
