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.device/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 haven’t changed anything hardware wise and I haven’t changed anything involving partitions in months.

    In kernel 6.8.9 my swap mounts perfectly I don’t have any idea what I should change in order to fix 6.8.10.

      I don’t think I have any great answers for you, but I have two thoughts:

      1. In my grub screen, I have 6.8.9, 6.8.10, and 6.8.11 available as choices. Does this also not work on 6.8.11 or do you only have Fedora configured to keep one old kernel version some how?
      2. If your system boots into 6.8.9 just fine, can you disable the swap volume and try 6.8.10 again? If it works, you at least know what’s wrong…
