Fedora 44 stuck on boot after today's updates

This week’s updates have incrementally made my system take longer to boot since the update that brought in kernel 7.0.9.202, and today’s update with 7.0.9.205 no longer boots at all.

each update brought with it 3 grey squares on boot instead of the fedora logo+ uefi logo, and the first time this happened, boot took about 20 seconds longer. now the system won’t boot at all. I’ve left it on for 20 minutes, and the screen either goes black, or goes grey, or the grey squares still show up. this varies on boot attempt, but the constant is that it won’t boot. I managed to get a boot by selecting kernel 202, but this no longer works, the system just completely hangs on those grey squares. I tried to enter the fedora rescue boot entry in the grub menu, but the same thing happens, grey squares of doom that won’t let the system boot.

i searched for this, and there’s a reddit post from last night with a similar issue, they claim fedora 44 but a much older kernel. Other people also mention the grey squares, but their problems were with nvidia drivers. I have an AMD gpu, no integrated graphics, and system was booting fine just a few days ago.

I have a windows install in another drive, and it boots fine, so hardware is fine, but fedora 44 is my daily driver and i need it working.

i got journalctl logs, but they show up as a continuous log, as if the previous boot never closed, so i haven’t found the other boot attempts in there.

pressing esc to try to see boot messages does nothing. I press num lock to see if the system is somewhat responsive, and the LED can take anywhere from 20 seconds to a few minutes to respond to the input, and sometimes it never responds to input.

any idea what might be happening?

i should also mention that this f44 install is on a pcie4 nvme drive, and up until this week, boot never took longer than 35-ish seconds. windows claims the drive is healthy.

thank you!

update: removing “rhgb quiet” results in a successful boot, but it’s still slow at 1 minute 45 seconds. systemd-udevd.service/stop taking most of that time.

unsure about the drm panic message and the various usb device desriptor errors

Boot with the kernel params removed if you need to.

I have systems in multiple buildings, so often do offline updates from a terminal using dnf5 offline reboot. Sometimes a system will not reappear on the network until I enter a <return> from the system keyboard. I always remove the rhgb quiet from the kernel command-line so I can see that no new messages are appearing when I get to the problem machine. This has happened on all my systems, but not often.

Would also be helpful to see the output from the following two commands please:

cat /etc/fstab

systemd-analyze critical-chain

Do these problems also occur if you boot one of the older kernels?

Beg delay for the checking of dev-nvme0n1p1.device to complete.

We’ll see what you post for the critical-chain output but I’d also have a look at the smartctl output of all of your nvme disks to ensure that they really are healthy as claimed by Windows.

I suspect you have a bit of a disk issue but until we get a bit more info it’s just an educated guess

this is the output of critical-chain:

fstab just mounts my drives, bx and mx500, and the system drive:

smartctl on the system drive is all good:

i thought to completely remove power from the pc then booting again, and now it boots almost as fast as it did before:

systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 14.683s (firmware) + 6.573s (loader) + 3.743s (kernel) + 5.826s (initrd) + 11.621s (userspace) = 42.449s 
graphical.target reached after 11.621s in userspace.

it no longer hangs for 40-something seconds after the amdgpu drm stuff.

i’m keeping the boot options(that the name?) rhgb quiet removed for now.

thank you!
