Description Matt Fagnani 2021-10-26 16:28:36 UTC
Description of problem:

I ran sudo dnf offline-upgrade download (with updates-testing enabled) then sudo dnf offline-upgrade reboot in a Fedora 35 KDE Plasma installation. The update included zram-generator-1.0.1-1.fc35. On the boot after the update, I pressed Esc while the plymouth screen was shown. Errors like "Failed to start Create swap on /dev/zram0." were shown repeatedly on the screen. The journal showed errors including the following.
