Upgrade from F40 to F41 Leaves System Unbooable (systemd-boot)

Upgrade seemed to go okay, but on the reboot after upgrade, the system is not bootable. There is an red error I’ve never seen before, something like “Error preparing initrd: not found”. I’m just getting into it, not sure what’s wrong. Anybody else get this on their upgrades? My other system upgraded okay.

Oh, yeah, I’m using systemd-boot, BTW.

Added systemd-boot

Might be an issue with tuned package.
It is adding stuff to the kernel command line that is invalid for sdboot I have been reading.

Are you able to edit the kernel command line when using sdboot?
If so look for $tuned… strings and remove them.

I am not a sdboot user so this is all untested guesses.

Yes, sorry, I forgot to update. Yep, the problem is $tuned, which is totally new to me. See this issue.

Oh, it’s the old tuned profile tool. I didn’t make the connection. What’s it doing with boot stuff?
