Harish Pillay ☛ Harish Pillay 9v1hp: Perculiar problem with boot up
I was getting ready to upgrade a laptop (Dell XPS13) to Fedora 42 from Fedora 41 (yeah, it’s been a while) and for some reason, when I did an update of the current F41 just to ensure that all’s well, upon reboot, the system failed to start.

"error: ../../grub-core/fs/btrfs.c:2153:file `/boot/initramfs-6.14.6-300.fc41.86_64.img' not found"
