Raid cards of different brands wont typically read each others configs. So any replacement card would need to be the same card, or maybe just manufacturer to read the current config and disks. On Fri, Jun 24, 2022, 4:40 AM ToddAndMargo via users < users@lists.fedoraproject.org> wrote: > On 6/24/

What kind of video card/builtin do you have? (lspci | grep -i vga) Only really old amd/ati cards use the radeon driver. The newer cards use amdgpu. And your dmesg lists your bios as being a 2020 bios release and that would indicate the hardware you are using is new so makes me wonder why you

From what I can tell the boot sequence on an nvidia and/or kernel update is this: Machine boots up. Akmods begins building new driver and/or driver for new kernel. Available old driver loads (if new kernel the driver will be nouveau, if new nvidia this will be older nvidia) and Graphics start up.

You might include a full dmesg/messages. This is the sort of error you get when there is an underlying read failure/breakage on the device that the data is actually on. You get scsi errors/block errors first and then that shows up as filesystem errors similar to these. This sounds like the under

A global "udevadm trigger" often has weird effects. All of the initial setup udev rules get re-run and will re-assert those settings and override the current state. Without digging through the udev rules it would be hard to tell, but in general a udevadm trigger re-executes the udev rules used wh
