Ok,
I think I have found the problem:
Nov 24 10:44:00 localhost.HPNotebook dracut-initqueue[861]: Scanning
devices dm-0 for LVM logical volumes vgfedora/fedora
Nov 24 10:44:00 localhost.HPNotebook dracut-initqueue[886]: inactive
'/dev/vgfedora/pool00' [929.75 GiB] inherit
Nov 24 10:44:00 localhost.HPNotebook dracut-initqueue[886]: inactive
'/dev/vgfedora/fedora' [700.00 GiB] inherit
Nov 24 10:44:00 localhost.HPNotebook dracut-initqueue[888]: modprobe:
FATAL: Module dm-thin-pool not found in directory
/lib/modules/5.8.18-200.fc32.x86_64
Nov 24 10:44:00 localhost.HPNotebook dracut-initqueue[888]:
/usr/sbin/modprobe failed: 1
Nov 24 10:44:00 localhost.HPNotebook dracut-initqueue[888]: Can't process
LV vgfedora/fedora: thin target support missing from kernel?
But I have no idea how to solve it.
I have marked the logical volumes as active via :
lvchange -kn vgfedora/pool00
lvchange -kn vgfedora/fedora
But no change.
How will I add the dm-thin-pool module ?
I cannot even boot.
