1. Please describe the problem:

Upon doing updates, the latest kernel update for 5.18.15-200 breaks my computer.  It will not boot.  It boots to black & white text and shows USB devices then stops.  I have to revert back to the Btrfs snapshot of root to use my computer.

2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:

5.18.15-200.fc36.x86_64

3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  Old kernels are available for download at
   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :

The kernel I am using now that works perfectly fine is 5.18.13-200.fc36.x86_64.

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:

Let either dnf or Discover download and install updates which has kernel 5.18.15-200.fc36.x86_64.  Reboot.  Fail.

5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
   Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
   ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:

Not sure if I want to use the rawhide kernel or not.  I did not do this.

6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:

Not that I am aware of.

7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
   for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
   issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

I am not going to try kernel 5.18.15-200.fc36.x86_64 again.  I am not sure how I would even get this log since Fedora will not boot up for me with kernel 5.18.15-200.fc36.x86_64.  Kernel 5.18.13-200.fc36.x86_64 is working perfectly fine.  I will attach the log for it.

All other present updates installed other than kernel 5.18.15-200.fc36.x86_64.
Comment 2 Buford T. Justice 2022-08-05 08:00:12 UTC 
uname -r says I am using kernel 5.18.15-200.fc36.x86_64.  Discover looks like I am using kernel 5.17.5-300.fc36.x86_64.  Strange.
Comment 3 Buford T. Justice 2022-08-05 08:05:45 UTC 
It would be nice if Bugzilla allowed editing additional comments.  Grrr!

Hello,
Starting fedora with version 5.18.16 of the kernel works.
Comment 6 Buford T. Justice 2022-08-06 10:30:11 UTC 
Not for me.  As soon as I install it and reboot, I get a list of USB devices and nothing more.
Comment 7 Buford T. Justice 2022-08-07 21:07:06 UTC 
5.18.16-200.fc36.x86_64 is working fine.  Thanks!
