For the past couple days, my Fedora 40 install has been hanging with kernel 6.8.10-300.
For the past couple days I’ve been booting from kernel 6.8.9-300 as whenever I try to boot from kernel 6.8.10-300 my boot gets stuck at:
Job dev-mapper-cl\x2dswap/start
I’ve been trying to figure this out on my for a bit but as Fedora is now at kernel 6.8.11 the next update may remove kernel 6.8.9 as an option to boot from and I’m afraid I won’t be able to boot from my system.
If anyone knows what is wrong or could give me some advice as to how to read that message I would appreciate it very much.
I’d like to avoid doing that as it could remove 6.8.9 as a boot option
I’ll update if it’s guaranteed to solve my issue.
You can pin kernel (or any package for that matter) versions so they don’t get removed: https://fedoramagazine.org/boot-earlier-kernel/
