My Fedora 40 system won't boot with any kernel over 6.8.10.

I've had this problem for about a month now and have been putting it off, as I haven't really been using my computer recently, but it needs to be addressed.

I'm running a Fedora 40 KDE 6 distro, which was upgraded from Fedora 39. It's been working pretty well for the half year I've been using it but recently I've encountered an issue. About a month ago, after upgrading my system to kernel 6.8.10, my system started to hang while in boot.

usb 1-10 device descriptor read/64, error -71 [ OK ] Started plymouth-start.service - Show Plymouth Boot Screen [ OK ] Started systemd-ask-password-plymoūquests to Plymouth Directory Watch [ OK ] Reached target paths.target - Path Units. [ OK ] Found device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-dūsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB fedora. [ OK ] Reached target initrd-root-device.target - Initrd Root Device. [ *** ] Job dev-mapper-cl\x2dswap.device/start running (xxs / no limit)

Fortunately Fedora saves the previous 2 kernels versions and I was able to boot into my computer using Kernel 6.8.9. When I went to check what was wrong I noticed that with kernel 6.8.10 it always hangs at this part of the boot process.

[ *** ] Job dev-mapper-cl\x2dswap.device/start running (xxs / no limit)

I understood that this has something to do with swap but I'm unsure what the issue is exactly. My Fedora install doesn't have a swap partition, it uses zram. I'm unsure if that's an issue.

I've reinstalled kernel 6.8.10 and it didn't fix the issue. I've also upgraded my machine to use kernel 6.8.11 and see if that would fix anything, but it did nothing, and upgrading to 6.8.12 probably won't fix anything either. I've installed a dnf plugin called versionlock meant to pin certain kernels as to not delete them and have already pinned kernel 6.8.9, but I'd still rather avoid upgrading.

What I really don't understand is what changed. Why does my system boot successfully in kernel 6.8.9 but fails in 6.8.10. I've read that others have had a similar experience with the 6.8.10 kernel on fedora, albeit for different reasons.

If someone can point me to the answers that would be great, but an explanation as to how to read that log and steps I could take to identify and troubleshoot would be just as welcomed.

Sounds like a great way to get extra memory for your GPU without needing to buy a whole new one!

The European Pirate Party is doing good work addressing this bullshit :)

My Linux Mint Cinnamon won't boot up. It's getting stuck on this screen and I don't know what to do to proceed. Before this screen appears it shows the LM logo for a moment.

I'm a total noob and just been using this for a month or two. Did not make any recent changes that I can recall.

I did it. I came out to everyone that matters. No one has cut me off or thrown me out. The process took about 6 months longer than I thought it would, but we are here, on the other side of that long tunnel. But instead of flying out of the other side, speeding my way towards a full transition, I'm maybe two steps further transitioned than I was six months ago. No momentum.

And oh boy am I tired. Long talks with good friends, debating theology with my pastor, answering questions, calming fears, it's a lot of social energy.

Can I just stop being trans for one bloody moment? I need a breather. But no, that's not an option, the dysphoria is not abated. So onward I press, taking the hard path, the good path, the slow path. I can be a Christian and trans. I can keep my support network and transition. I don't have to lose my wife and kids, we can make this work.

But

it's

so

slow

.

I've been transitioning as slowly as possible for 30 years, but I'm ready to drop my masc and make a mad dash to the other side. I'm ready to throw out the guy clothes, take E, get an orchi, laser my face. I know different people experience womanhood differently, but I feel like I haven't gotten to experience it all, despite leaning hard on that GNC wall for all my masc years. And so I don't ask people to call me Amber, she/her, because I don't feel like I deserve it. Once I'm over there, then I'll ask. Once I malefail. But this mindset is holding me back. Insisting on maintaining all my relationships and support network is holding me back. My wife working her way through her own theology and gender issues is holding me back. And I can't lose those, so I limp along, dragging the shattered remains of my masc alongside me.

I thought for sure that putting myself out there would free me to go be myself, that I would be zooming, but instead I'm still plodding along, just now with extra scrutiny.

Last night I dreamed I was a kid, and instead of hiding and building a masc, I was demanding to be myself. Little dream me was so sure of herself, so ready to fight everyone who would tell her she couldn't be who she really was. I could use her energy right now, and her willingness to fight for herself.
