After using grubby as follows: grubby -args=usb_storage.quirks=0x0bc2:0x3322:,0x0bc2:0xab80:,0x0bc2:0xab81:,0x0bc2:0xab82:,0x0bc2:0xab38: --update-kernel=ALL it appears that future kernel entries are not built properly. System boot fails by going into recovery mode. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Modified args in F38 kernel 6.3.8 system with: grubby --args=usb_storage.quirks=0x0bc2:0x3322:,0x0bc2:0xab80:,0x0bc2:0xab81:,0x0bc2:0xab82:,0x0bc2:0xab38: --update-kernel=ALL 2. dnf upgrade which installed f38 6.3.9 kernel 3. rebooted system, received: systemd[1]: initrd-switch-root.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. L 9.3883871 charon systemd[1]: Failed to start initrd-switch-root.service- Switch Root. 4, Reviewed /boot/loader/entries. It appears that entry for 6.3.9 kernel was not built propery. Here is the entry for 6.3.8 kernel: title Fedora Linux (6.3.8-200.fc38.x86_64) 38 (Workstation Edition) version 6.3.8-200.fc38.x86_64 linux /vmlinuz-6.3.8-200.fc38.x86_64 initrd /initramfs-6.3.8-200.fc38.x86_64.img options root=UUID=365d160f-bac9-4a1c-9ee5-7be7b4f7207d ro rhgb quiet usb_storage.quirks=0x0bc2:0x3322:,0x0bc2:0xab80:,0x0bc2:0xab81:,0x0bc2:0xab82:,0x0bc2:0xab38: grub_users $grub_users grub_arg --unrestricted grub_class fedora Here is the entry that was built for 6.3.9 kernel: title Fedora Linux (6.3.9-200.fc38.x86_64) 38 (Workstation Edition) version 6.3.9-200.fc38.x86_64 linux /vmlinuz-6.3.9-200.fc38.x86_64 initrd /initramfs-6.3.9-200.fc38.x86_64.img options usb_storage.quirks=0x0bc2:0x3322:,0x0bc2:0xab80:,0x0bc2:0xab81:,0x0bc2:0xab82:,0x0bc2:0xab38: grub_users $grub_users grub_arg --unrestricted grub_class fedora Actual Results: options for: root ro rhgb quit are missing from the 6.3.9 kernel Expected Results: grubby command should work for all existing entries, and entries created going forward
Changing priority, I tried with kernel 6.3.5 and it isn't building correct either, so wondering if using the grubby command some how corrupted something.
I found that I can workaround the issue by manually editing the /boot/loader/entry/*.conf files and correcting the option line to be: options root=UUID=365d160f-bac9-4a1c-9ee5-7be7b4f7207d ro rhgb quiet usb_storage.quirks=0x0bc2:0x3322:,0x0bc2: 0xab80:,0x0bc2:0xab81:,0x0bc2:0xab82:,0x0bc2:0xab38: but I shouldn’t have to do that.
I found that for some reason that my /etc/default/grub file changed and for some reason this line was changed to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" I’m guessing that when I added the long usb_storage.quirks line that the utility that changes the /etc/default/grub file couldn’t deal with the line length and just changed it to “”. That’s a hypothesis on my part, but that is the only thing that I changed. If that indeed what happened, that's a bug and needs to be fixed. I was able to edit the grub file manually. Although the jury is out whether or not the change will stick.
