There is a kernel bug, but two proposed fixes, one looks like a quick hack, the other points to a more basic flaw in the implementation. One misconfiguration can cause multiple failures. Other distros are reporting problems and have workarounds: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=256503 > It can't even initialize my swap file: > > Jul 26 21:01:12 localhost.HPNotebook systemd[1]: fedora.swap.swap: > Failed with result 'exit-code'. > 6 Jul 26 21:01:12 localhost.HPNotebook systemd[1]: Failed to activate > swap /fedora.swap. > 7 Jul 26 21:01:12 localhost.HPNotebook systemd[1]: Dependency failed > for Swap. > 8 Jul 26 21:01:12 localhost.HPNotebook systemd[1]: swap.target: Job > swap.target/start failed with result 'dependency'. > 9 Jul 26 21:01:12 localhost.HPNotebook swapon[994]: swapon: > /fedora.swap: swapon failed: Invalid argument > 10 Jul 26 21:01:26 localhost.HPNotebook swapon[1084]: swapon: > /fedora.swap: swapon failed: Invalid argument > 11 Jul 26 21:01:26 localhost.HPNotebook systemd[1]: fedora.swap.swap: > Failed with result 'exit-code'. > 12 Jul 26 21:01:26 localhost.HPNotebook systemd[1]: Failed to activate > swap /fedora.swap. > 13 Jul 26 21:01:26 localhost.HPNotebook systemd[1]: Dependency failed > for Swap. > 14 Jul 26 21:01:26 localhost.HPNotebook systemd[1]: swap.target: Job > swap.target/start failed with result 'dependency'. > 15 Jul 26 21:01:26 localhost.HPNotebook swapon[1093]: swapon: > /fedora.swap: swapon failed: Invalid argument > 16 Jul 26 21:01:26 localhost.HPNotebook systemd[1]: fedora.swap.swap: > Failed with result 'exit-code'. > 17 Jul 26 21:01:26 localhost.HPNotebook systemd[1]: Failed to activate > swap /fedora.swap. > 18 Jul 26 21:01:26 localhost.HPNotebook systemd[1]: Dependency failed > for Swap. > > > This doesn't happen in 5.6 > > There are a slew of other problems. > > > A log file can be found here: > > https://pastebin.com/iL9Yd5cj > > > I really am too tired to file a bug since nothing really gets fixed. > Maybe you shouldn't be using Fedora. One reason Fedora exists is to catch problems like this. Given that there is a simple workaround and more than one way to "fix" it, it may take some time for a fix to make it into the kernel. The bug was reported in May, so "some time" might translate to "real soon now". > > > What I want to do is uninstall the 5.7 kernel. apply Why not apply the workaround. > > If I uninstall the kernel will running an older kernel cause problems > during system upgrade ? > > -- > Regards, > Sreyan > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > 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@lists.fedoraproject.org > -- George N.
