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.

You can pin kernel (or any package for that matter) versions so they don't get removed: https://fedoramagazine.org/boot-earlier-kernel/

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
