See Bug #1963782 for original description. Some issues were fixed with kernel-5.12.7-300.fc34 but not all and 5.12.10 regressed. The immediate issue I am observing is that laptop fails on boot after "Switch Root" is printed to console log. This happens with dracut-054-12 vs kernel-5.12.5 and 5.12.10 but mostly working with 5.12.7 (sometimes still hangs). After downgrading to dracut-053-4.fc34.x86_64 boot is working properly. > sudo dnf downgrade dracut > sudo dracut --force /boot/initramfs-5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64.img 5.12.10-300.fc34.x86_64 Please help fix this nasty issue.
As I reported in bug 1963782, my switch root issue is back with kernel 5.12.11-300.fc34. My dracut version is 054-12.git20210521.fc34. As my mesa packages where update together with kernel 5.12.11, I tried downgrading those to see if they caused the issue, but no. It's just the kernel, if not in combination with my dracut install (which I didn't try downgrading). The issue history on my laptop (thinkpad t490s, Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (WHL GT2)) is: kernel 5.11.x & dracut 053-4 / 054-12 --> no issues kernel 5.12.x until 5.12.9 & dracut 053-4 / 054-12 --> switch root issue (system completely hangs during boot) kernel 5.12.9 & dracut 054-12 --> switch root issue (system completely hangs during boot) kernel 5.12.9 & dracut 053-4 --> no issues kernel 5.12.10 & dracut 054-12 --> no issues kernel 5.12.11 & dracut 054-12 --> switch root issue (system completely hangs during boot)

That one is old; and known to be broken. dracut-055-2.fc34 has been out for a while now and fixes this, please upgrade yourt dracut and then re-generate your initrd, that should fix this.
Dracut-055-2.fc34 doesn't show up in my updates (not after dnf clean all either). I did downgrade dracut to 053-4, and it's running fine with kernel 5.12.11

You can install it now by running: sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2021-a3ab421a63 Adam, can we please get the dracut update pushed to the stable-updates repo ?
Done - I was figuring harald would do it, but I guess not. Please don't use my personal account (I can't get rid of it as BZ doesn't let you, but I don't use it any more). thanks!
I just checked, I can't see the upgraded dracut package in the stable repos, yet. I'll try installing from testing repos and rebuilding initrd.
Yes, I only just pushed it today (I thought harald would do it, but he didn't). Sorry about that.
Hi, the update came through and worked, thanks a lot. ps: my xfce box didn't have this issue.
dracut-055-2.fc34.x86_64 works for me with latest 5.12.13-300.fc34.x86_64 kernel. So I'm closing the issue. Thanks for fixing. It was really nasty.
