Upgrade LXQt 41 → 42 Failed ### SOS !!!

After

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=42
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

downloading and upgrading more than 2500 packets
and automatically reboot
I see

Booting `Fedora Linux (6.14.2-300.fc42.x86_64) 42 (Adams)`
error: ../../grub-core/fs/fshelp.c:257:file `/initramfs-6.14.2-300.fc42.x86_64.img` not found.
Press any key to continue...

After a while they says:

Plese reboot your computer.

Thanx

I have the same issue with Budgie 41 > 42. Seems the fc42 kernel is broken. Awaiting help also.

problem solved

I rebooted, selected the previous fc41 kernel

sudo dnf remove kernel*6.14.2*
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

Though then I had to do a lot of manual work.
For example, restore virtualbox.
Actually, I’m still eliminating the consequences of the disaster.

I have 2 more laptops with LXQt and a desktop with Cinnamon
I’m even afraid to update them…

With 2 more laptops, quite a workload. Try

dracut --kver put_kernel_version_you_want_here # No /boot/initramfs after update
