dracut + LUKS = no boot? (now fine, issues a month ago)

Hi,
I had changed from Fedora to openSUSE due to an error on LUKS during
boot (it would not see the correct devices, dracut would timeout). I
could boot using an older kernel but couldn't figure out what the
issue was/hadn't had the patience.
Yesterday it happened on openSUSE and, in that case, no kernel would
boot. So, again, I returned to Fedora. Do note the same thing had
happened on another computer. This was approximately 1 month ago.

No-one else seems to have had this issue.

I've since reinstalled Fedora 40 so now my system is stable and working fine.

Still, it puzzles me, so, does anyone have any hint of what may have
gone wrong? Spurious internet searches suggested: buggy `blkid` update
resulting in buggy `blkid` output which induced `grub-mkconfig` to
output boot options missing the necessary UUID necessary for unlocking
the correct partitions. But those results were from about a few months
ago.

Just FYI, my current, working, install was like this: I installed
Fedora 39, upgraded to latest packages excluding=blkid, dracut,
kernel, kernel-core-modules, kernel-core-extras, upgraded to all
latest on 39, upgraded to Fedora 40 and the bug didn't happen again.

Thanks,
User of Fedoras
