HI guys,
I successfully installed Fedora 44 KDE. During the first reboot after installation, it took about 5 minutes, and then I get this error.

You can check what parttions you have by booting from the live image USB. In the terminal run lsblk -f to see what disks and partitions there are. Also run efibootmgr to see what the UEFI BIOS has setup.

You could just redo the install again and see if this time it works.
Make sure that you reboot from the live USB image.

Id tried to re-install it many times and I even found that when I install it without a Encryption it works so now is question. Why when I install fedora with no disk encryption it’s works and with encryption it works not?

Just wanted to chime in acknowledge that that I stumbled upon this exact same issue.

Your efibootmgr output is unexpected.

This is what I see from lsblk. I added the partition UUID that is used in the efiboot entry.

lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,FSVER,LABEL,PARTUUID,UUID,FSAVAIL,FSUSE%,MOUNTPOINTS

Here is the efi boot info

efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0004
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0004
Boot0004* Fedora	HD(1,GPT,1231bba3-2b18-4c42-8768-cf7e6c8be563,0x800,0x12c000)/\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi0000424f

I don’t know why you have different efiboot entry on your system.
But I wonder if its the cause of the problem?

Check my thread here, I just discovered something you might wanna try. Fresh install of Fedora 44 KDE w/ Encryption fails to boot - #12 by pike2k

I decide switch to Arch :man_facepalming:
