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 work…

Ok…the BS continues… I just did a kernel upgrade (via ‘sudo dnf update’) from 6.19.10 to 6.19.11 (I am running FC-43). The same thing happened again! That is, the created file in /boot/loader/entries for the 6.19.11 kernel did not have correct value for the ‘root’ argument part of the ‘options’ par…

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…

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 :slight_smile: index=0 kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-6.18.5-200.fc43.x86_64" args="ro rootflags=subvol=root resume=UUID=9263553e-d882-4f57-8afb-d9a2762bcfd9 rhgb quiet $tuned_params" root="UUID=b538ad6d-af9b-4609-b05e-5f1591d3195e" initrd="/boo…

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, rhg…

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.

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
