Running bootctl on Fedora 41, i’m getting the following output:

WARNING: default boot entry is broken

I was trying to diagnose slow boot and slow wake up from suspend when I came across this.

Here’s the contents of /boot

I think this is spurious. I also see the same message.

As for the slow boot and wakeup: if you remove rhgb quiet you can see the messages while the system is booting. On this 5-years old laptop, there was a 45 sec. delay related to TPM support. You haven’t shown the relevant section from bootctl or mentioned any hardware details.

Slow startup issues may not be specific to Fedora – systemctl mask dev-tpmrm0.device or maybe you need sudo systemctl mask tpm2.target.

Probably bootctl doesn’t understand this “$tuned_params”

options: root=UUID=e0cf603c-cbd1-44e3-95a8-a0e1a8ceb8e2 ro rhgb quiet modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu $tuned_params
                                                                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

But grub2 does understand it, and if the system still boots, there should be no problem.
