Checked site, and only a few things listed, and none that seemed to talk about this issue? BUGS https://bugz.fedoraproject.org/akmods Have sent a message to maintainer and author to see if they will note what the cause and solution was? Just interested.

Took over G4L project in 2004, and it has worked fine to test the ISO images and now grub4dos image files with both bios and uefi loaders, and now update to initramfs since the initrd is scheduled to be phased out by 1/2027. Just test the boot and simple test. Can also, boot the kernels for testing directly from grub menu, but that requires rebooting machine. cat 5454d68084c145e496d5ce383b5147de-0-G4L.conf title G4L 0.70 version 0.G4L linux /bz6x19.7 initrd /initramfs.lzma $tuned_initrd grub_users $grub_users grub_arg --unrestricted grub_class fedora Project just boots to ram, and runs in ram. Also, have a kernel 7.0.rc3 kernel testing.
