You don't get a kernel menu. Problem as been isolated to grubby creating a corrupted grub.cfg file. Fixing that file has gotten all the damaged systems back up so fire that I've fixed. Two systems I was able to kill -9 grubby and immediately replace the grub.cfg file with a clean one and they recovered. I've just got one dead one left that I have to pry the sd card out of and edit the file on another system. > I'm not aware of any issues but I think all my RPi testing has moved > to F-32 or at the very least to 5.5 or later kernels. I need to move to F-32 for sure and I definitely want the 5.5 kernel for other reasons. My wife has a Lenovo Yoga 730-13 and the 5.4.* kernels all barf with CPU lockup around the SSD card. Strangely, it does with my Lenvo Yoga 730-15. But my 15" has a replacable SSD and her 13" does not (that's on the only differences). But that's another story. I've got an RPi-4 waiting for Fedora 32. > What other updates were in the list? I'll have to dig that out of the logs. It's isolated to one of the grubby scripts at this point. Mike -- Michael H.
