Didn't you have a similar problem a while ago or was that someone else?
I had the same problem with the 5.7 kernel, and my solution was to use the 5.6 kernel.
There was some kernel change that might require you to recreate the swap
file.
I have created the swap but they still get the same error.

Anything else I can do ?
Looking at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=256614 and the URL's contained within
it seems doing a
dd if=/dev/zero of=/fedora.swap bs=1M count=2048 status=progress
may cure the w(hole) issue. :-)
Sorry, the count above was for a 2GB swap file. Increase it to cover your 8GB file.
