Error message in startup-boot screen of Fedora 30 on new installation

Recently I installed fedora 30 beta in my Acer Aspire 3 Intel i3 7th gen laptop.

I get the following error while switching on my laptop. This error message shows up for 1-2 second and then the boot screen appears and log in normally. May I know how to remove this error or is this serious issue. :confused:

This occurs in 30 release, I had it too, lucky this is nothing to worry about, and is a know BUGā€™s and it fixed now, but you have option:

  1. Keep your system up-to date with sudo dnf update
  2. You can update your kernel from getting the lastest update-testing repo sudo dnf update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel kernel-{core,devel,modules\*,headers} ā†’ you can adap it as your needs

Thank you @hhlp for your reply.
I tried sudo dnf update, but still get the same bug while switching on my laptop.
Tried the second command too. I get the following message in the terminal

Package kernel-devel available, but not installed.
No match for argument: kernel-devel

Should I need to install kernal-devel. How to do it? Will this solve the bug?

if you donā€™t have installed kernel-devel delete it from the listā€¦ if occurs with any other do the sameā€¦

You can add --setopt=strict=0 to the command. That tells DNF to ignore packages in the list that it cannot find. So:

sudo dnf update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel kernel-{core,devel,modules\*,headers} --setopt=strict=0

This is definitely grubā€¦

Since the Bugzilla reports said that this only happened on a clean install, Iā€™d blame anaconda. Perhaps grub is right, and anaconda formatted the ESP as either the wrong FAT or corrupted FAT

Exactly, I am too thinking the same. its grub issue.

But I might be wrong about anaconda. It could be the new blscfg.

I was looking through my grub.cfg on fedora 30 and found ā€œinsmod fat.ā€ Iā€™ll have to double check in what context it said that, but presumably, grub, booted from a fat partition (ESP), does not need to open the fat partition. That was already done.

(Just to be clear, Iā€™m not having this issue. (I upgraded, so that could be it?) Iā€™m not blaming that line, Iā€™m only saying that the new blscfg change likely has something to do with it, and that I take back my attribution of blame on anaconda (even though, ultimately, it still comes back to grub regardless).)

I think here is one more grub issue to take note of Fedora 30 Dual Boot Windows 10

Apologies, I noticed this too now.
