For the past couple days, my Fedora 40 install has been hanging with kernel 6.8.10-300.
For the past couple days I’ve been booting from kernel 6.8.9-300 as whenever I try to boot from kernel 6.8.10-300 my boot gets stuck at:
Job dev-mapper-cl\x2dswap.device/start
I’ve been trying to figure this out on my for a bit but as Fedora is now at kernel 6.8.11 the next update may remove kernel 6.8.9 as an option to boot from and I’m afraid I won’t be able to boot from my system.
If anyone knows what is wrong or could give me some advice as to how to read that message I would appreciate it very much.

That reads like it’s hanging trying mount a swap volume. Did any hardware change recently? Particularly like hard drive layout or something?
I haven’t changed anything hardware wise and I haven’t changed anything involving partitions in months.
In kernel 6.8.9 my swap mounts perfectly I don’t have any idea what I should change in order to fix 6.8.10.
I don’t think I have any great answers for you, but I have two thoughts:
Boot your previous version and run another update.
I’d like to avoid doing that as it could remove 6.8.9 as a boot option
I’ll update if it’s guaranteed to solve my issue.
You can pin kernel (or any package for that matter) versions so they don’t get removed: fedoramagazine.org/boot-earlier-kernel/
