Today I did the usual 'dnf update' on a VM system. As part of the update I received kernel-6.15.4-200.fc42.x86_64 However, after the upgrades were done, the last console message was >>> Running post-transaction scriptlet: kernel-core-0:6.15.4-200.fc42.x86_64 after which the system was hard locked (about 45m...). Looking at the log (I remote rsyslog to my server) I see: Jul 6 09:16:53 e4 dracut[24606]: dracut-105-3.fc42 Jul 6 09:16:54 e4 dracut[24609]: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut -f --kernel-image /lib/modules/6.15.4-200.fc42.x86_64/vmlinuz --kver 6.15.4-200.fc42.x86_64 /boot/initramfs-6.15.4-200.fc42.x86_64.img Jul 6 09:17:00 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: bash *** Jul 6 09:17:00 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: shell-interpreter *** Jul 6 09:17:00 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: systemd *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: fips *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: fips-crypto-policies *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: systemd-ask-password *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: systemd-battery-check *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: systemd-initrd *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: systemd-journald *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: systemd-modules-load *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: systemd-sysctl *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: systemd-sysusers *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: systemd-tmpfiles *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: systemd-udevd *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: nss-softokn *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: rngd *** Jul 6 09:17:01 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: i18n *** Jul 6 09:17:02 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: drm *** Jul 6 09:17:02 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: plymouth *** Jul 6 09:17:06 e4 dracut[24609]: *** Including module: kernel-modules *** Jul 6 09:17:07 e4 kernel: block vda: the capability attribute has been deprecated.
