Description

I have the same issue, I upgraded my F33 laptop to F34 - first boot hangs on "running start job for .." both root and swap file systems. Reverting to the F33 grub entry works. I did a dnf update after booting and now I have 2 entries in grub that are F34 and one that is F33 - both the F34 entries result in an un-bootable system - so I agree it seems dracut it broken Possibly a duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1945596 See also bug 1945596 and bug 1945901 and 1945530 and https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/7fcc4955884355c3943d6c41e459b4b983a818f4 OK never mind, as figured out in bug 1945596, this is the fix. https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/ba4bcf5f4f11ad624c647ddf4f566997186135e7 FEDORA-2021-50707f8501 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 34. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-50707f8501 This works for me. However it still leaves any kernel that was installed with the previous version of dracut unbootable. There may be a simpler way but I boot with an earlier kernel, uninstall the latest kernel-core pkg, and then upgraded to reinstall it again. Maybe I could have just "sudo dnf reinstall kernel-core" to do the same thing. I hope that makes sense. (In reply to digger vermont from comment #6) > This works for me.

You have to both update dracut and then replace the initramfs, e.g. sudo dracut -f /boot/initramfs-5.11.11-300.fc34.x86_64.img 5.11.11-300.fc34.x86_64 > Maybe I could have just "sudo dnf reinstall kernel-core" to do the same

You can demand that dracut re-generated the initramfs for any old kernel you have with:
dracut --force --kver 5.11.12-300.fc34.x86_64
Just replace the --kver argument with thatever kernel argument. You can also specify a specific initramfs file and kernel version instead of using the --kver shortcut to use the default initramfs location.

Thanks, that's better than what I did and good to know. Since the previous version of dracut rendered kernels installed with it unbootable, should a post-install script for dracut include lines to regenerate at least the last installed kernel's initramfs?
