Hi, my guess is that you're seeing this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2263643 (no fix yet)
Could you please try adding "set debug=all" to the kernel command line (highlight the menu entry, hit 'e' to edit, add that line, Ctrl-x to execute) and post the output, if possible.
And/or could you try getting a memory map (from the GRUB menu hit 'c', then at the grub> lsefimmap) and post that, if possible.
Some more information about your system would be very welcome too. We are trying to figure out which hardware is affected

thanks.

I don't know if this will help, but here are the last few lines that I managed to extract with the help of AI from a photo of my screen:
