Two years later, I can say that this error might still be a thing. I concluded that the most likely cause is my mother. Jokes aside, she unplugged the power chord before the pc switches off completely. Through the years, she managed to crash in the same way f33, f34, and now f35. This time I had a look at the hard drive, and I can try to add something to the discussion. The situation is the same as described above, kernel panic at switch-root. Three kernels were available (up to 5.12), and they all failed in the same way. Partitions look fine, fat for UEFI (not tested, but hey, I reach boot without problems), ext4 for boot, btrfs for data (2 sub-volumes with / and /home mount points) without encryption. All btrfs checks run from a live USB key were perfectly clean. I tried to switch root from the live key, and... error. Some executables and libraries were completely deleted (zero sizes). I have a partial list, but I don't think it will be useful. Core software was all there except for python. Unfortunately, I already reinstalled f35 by nuking the root subvolume and creating a new one. Next time I will be smarter and save it for further analysis. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
