I followed the How to rebase to Fedora Silverblue 38 Beta – Fedora Community Blog
and 38 is not in the Grub menu. What to do?

Please post output of rpm-ostree status

I followed the How to rebase to Fedora Silverblue 38 Beta – Fedora Community Blog
and when I restarted the Grub menu only lists the previous 37 images.

There was no error messages, so I assume the rebase was successful.

rpm-ostree status only lists the two 37 images.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot it?

Would you please confirm if you can further update from 2023-04-02T00:45:25Z?

Please do post your journal log as suggested by Timothee.

Last time when my update failed to deploy, is when rebooting the system, before system reboots, the updates failed to deploy (due to too many btrfs subvols present) .

So to find out what happends during the rebooting process will help.

ok, ChatGPT walked me through how to get it to boot into 38.
Most of my goto Gnome extensions are still incompatible, so it’s back to 37 for me.

So, what was the issue?

Not sure I understand the process, but this is what worked;

ostree remote refs fedora

Found the fedora:fedora/38/x86_64/silverblue branch.

Pinned it:

sudo ostree admin pin fedora:fedora/38/x86_64/silverblue/[commit ID]

Rebooted and selected 38 from the Grub menu.
