I’m currently unable to boot with the linux-lts kernel. I tried reinstall and downgrade with the same effect. There is a “failed to mount /sysroot error message”, and the system stops booting. However a regular kernel and lts-fallback proceeds without errors, and the system starts. After some diggi…

sudo dracut-rebuild also fixed it for me.

For future updates, do we have to create the .ko file and include ext4, or will that be fixed somewhere upstream?

seems the culprit is a change in dracut upstream, in relation to the different configs of the kernels.. in the end this needs to get a fix on the source for the moment you could add add_drivers+=" ext4 " to the dracut config in case your rootfs is ext4 and it would force to include the modules..

I already mentioned this fix earlier as a response to @ckid . [image] huebi: This configuration instructs Dracut to explicitly include the ext4 driver in the initramfs by adding a file to dracut.conf.d. Thought another way it could be addressed was with the .ko file. Thanks for your help @j…

All I did was log into LTS Fallback and do sudo dracut-rebuild. I’m not seeing any issues at all anymore. I can log into LTS without problems. So, I’m assuming I don’t need to edit or add anything to the Dracut config?

The question is, what happens should you decide to update your LTS kernel in case of a new version. I would suppose, that for future updates it might make sense to add_drivers+=" ext4 ". Until it is fixed upstream.

[image] dalto: I think it is better to downgrade dracut instead: true as if adding add_drivers+=" ext4 " we will may forget about added it and would wonder one day about it may causing another issue .. . .
