Kernel Panic After Upgrading to 6.13.4 on Fedora 41

Hello, has anyone else experienced a kernel panic when upgrading to 6.13.4 on Fedora 41?

Note: I didn’t upgrade directly through DNF. I used Discover (on KDE Plasma), then selected “Shutdown and Upgrade.”

I managed to boot into a buggy but usable system by downgrading the kernel.

Here are the errors I encountered:

error: .. /../grub-core/fs/fshelp.c:257:flle `/Inltramfs-6,13.4-200,fc41.x86_64. Img' not found.
 
 
Press any key to continue...

After that, I got:

KERNEL PANIC! 
Please reboot your computer.
UFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknoun-1 block(0,0)

It seems that dracut could not make the initramfs.
Do you have nvidia GPU?

If you install the kernel again, use dnf is easiest, and watch for any errors.
Before you reboot check that you have an initramfs in /boot.
If it is missing run dracut --force and see if that works.

You can use grubby to set the kernel to be booted avoiding the need to uninstall the new kernel.

Report any errors you see here.

dracut --force wont help.

I was expecting it to fail, but with error messages that would explain what is wrong.

The rpmfusion drivers need a patch to work with 6.13, from another report.
Waiting a few days should see that patch land in a new rpmfusion RPM I expect, based on previous track record.

Apologies, I should have copied the err message before booting 6.12.15-200.fc41.x86_64

Thanks for the help, I reverted back to 6.12.15 and ran dracut --force after the rebooted it worked

and you are running 6.13.4 on fedora 41, right now, with nvidia properly loaded?

its always hard to say if everything working as it should with nvidia, but yes it seams so

11

hard to believe, it successfully failed to recompile on my machine :slight_smile:

12

actually i was trying to write correction it’s not, It’s using the integrated gpu

13

i’ve disabled mine from the BIOS to fully keep working on NVIDIA GPU.
Feels better

The nvidia 570 driver is already available in rpmfusion repos and works with kernel 6.13.4
