Hi, I have been getting issues booting since upgrading which came with the last kernel, 6.18.5. Booting with 6.18.4 seems fine. The only thing different I did with my system was to clone the m.2 ssd from a 2tb to a 4tb but I doubt this would explain the issues I’m having especially since 6.18.4 works fine.. Is anyone else having issues with 6.18.5 ?
I booted the previous 6.18.4 kernel in my grub list, updated again and was able to boot in 6.18.5 but since the browser tabs were not the same as what I have in 6.18.4, somehow I’m not sure it replaced the 6.18.5 I had but was able to boot in it..
So I’m wondering if that emergency mode issue thing is a random occurrence?
Are there any big differences between .4 and .5 in the output of:
sudo grubby --info=ALL
If you remove rhgb quiet from the boot parameters does it provide any useful output.
I don’t see any big differences except for the images

As for removing RHGB QUIET, what is the procedure on FEDORA when we remove a setting from grub, what are the steps I should perform?
To temporarily change it you from the grub menu:
select the kernel you’re booting, hit e
remove rhgb quiet
hit ctrl+ x to boot the entry
To display the grub menu:
- If you’re running gnome, select restart and then select the left alt key and select boot options.
or - Hold the shift key down during boot
You can also do it with grubby:
- To remove:
sudo grubby --remove-args="rhgb quiet" --update-kernel=ALL - To put back:
sudo grubby --args="rhgb quiet" --update-kernel=ALL
Can you also check the space available in /boot sudo df -h /boot
Hi there.. I’ll try that as soon as I’m done with my backups. I just checked my boot partition and there is plenty of space.. 27% used only.

Apologies for the sudden reply.
I am also encountering the same issue on Fedora 43 (6.18.5-200.fc43.x86_64) and am currently writing this message from a recovery environment.
The output of sudo grubby --info=ALL on my system was as follows. (I copied this after removing rhgb quiet. Originally, rhgb quiet was an argument for each item.)

I have also attached a photo of the logs when I checked them. (In my case, the startup is successful until halfway through, but then it stops in the same state as the image.)
Please let me know the fix as soon as you find it.
(Sorry, I’m Japanese Student, so this message has translated with translate service.)

If you could you post inxi -Fzxx to see if you all have similar hardware.
You may also want to try booting with the kernel argument nomodeset
Here’s result of inxi -Fzxx:

I will also try nomodeset, please wait a moment.
This is probably the issue for you.
Try installing the nvidia driver from rpmfusion for that GPU

Added nomodeset to the arguments and booted successfully.
(It seems to have been a nouveau problem.)
I will try installing NVIDIA’s official driver and see if it works when I remove the arguments back to their original state.
Quick update :
I have not removed “rghb quiet” but I booted with previous kernel image 6.18.4 and tried upgrading again “sudo dnf upgrade” and so far I have been able to boot into 6.18.5 successfully 3 times.
