It's primarily useful for if you've changed hardware to something that uses different drivers that weren't being used before. By default, the initramfs only has the drivers needed for the current hardware. The rescue kernel option is not any different than the regular options for fixing a damaged fs. There is an issue that if it can't boot, it asks for the root password even if that hasn't been set. There has been some discussion about it, but no solutions yet. -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

This usually means they rebooted too quickly (during the window after the module was compiled but before it was signed.). Or before the depmod done by the postintall of the kmod-nvidia-KERNEL RPM finishes. I have had the reboot happen too too quickly before but in this case I had no control over the reboot process, it happened automatically when the installs were completed. Right: more precisely as soon as dnf system-upgrade finishes. As said earlier on this list: I made a proposal to prevent that: kmod failed to load after upgrade Fedora using dnf system-upgrade https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2011120 still waiting for approval. This morning 'dnf upgrade' on one of my boxes installed the 470.239.06-2 versions of akmod and kmod, while the other box, having the -1 nersions, said there was 'nothing to do'; then packagekit found them and did a preliminary reboot before install. Both boxes now have the -2 versions installed and running. The process does take several minutes - and I did an "akmods --rebuild --force" just to make sure. F40 with plasma-workspace-x11 does seem to be working well now for me, and can use vdpau. How did you get Xorg working with Plasma as I can't see any group in dnf to install that? The path to where I am now has been complicated, mainly because my nvidia hardware is 'legacy' and its 470xx driver has not claimed to support Wayland. Under Wayland all cpus max out, and keyboard/mouse are almost unusable. YMMV. dnf info plasma-workspace-x11 It's in the Fedora 'updates' repo. The other thing I didn't like with the F40 upgrade was in F39 I had dnf configured to retain 5 kernels, but the F40 upgrade reset that back to 3. My system has 450 MB /boot, space for only 2 kernels + rescue. For the first time ever I had a need for the "rescue" kernel. Using that grub entry brought up a system that required a root login.
