Recently my Fedora started to slow down. I immidiately thought that it was the SSD that was slowly dying so i made sure to make a backup (img backup). Kernel Panik happened and i tried troubleshooting it. Now it refuses to mount the LVM on any kernel. It gets stuck at that process forever.
I first looked at my Bios, the LiveUSB versions of Fedora mentioned not enough Memory for Grub. So i enabled “allow above 4g decoding”. Which seems to have fixed that. But for some wicked reason, any time i try to boot a Fedora LiveUSB, it throws me back into the Bios Settings. All other Distros seem to Boot.
Before that it was also kernel panicking, probably due to it not having enough memory.
I’ve tried following things:
regenerate Dracut
regenerate grub2 (mkgcfg)
check /etc/fstab with blkid
Reset BIOS and enable back some parameters like it was back when it worked:
- Intel VT-D
- Intel Virtualization platform
- allow above 4g decoding (or the error i think would’ve returned)
- XMP OFF
Additional Info regarding BIOS: Asus has 15% overclocking on by default? Shouldn’t do anything but thought i might add that.
Before it all started happening tho, it booted a few times with the error: initramfs: zstd compressed data is corrupt.
Right now im writing the image backup to another disk to test if it really is the SSD. After that i’ll test the Memory.
Any help is appreciated.
Tl;DR:
Any Fedora distro can’t boot.
LVM on the Main installation won’t initialize
Other Distros boot.
Confused.
