I have been having some issues lately with fedora. This install was pretty reliable and never threw any errors until recently. I also noticed really slow read and write speeds one day. Like 2 times slower then a hard drive. But that went away after some use.
Later that day I updated and it wouldn’t boot. Just a blank screen. I was able to Ctrl alt f1 into a login sceen and run dnf and update.
That fixed it.
Then comes the second issue. I was programming and all of a sudden my python file disappeared out of thin air! Which is funny because I remember saving it. So I downloaded a backed up copy from my nas, and it disappeared again.
I figured it was a problem with Kate so I reinstalled it and it worked and saved files without removing them. Then I shut the computer down when I was done and this morning it boots to a blank screen. And the initial fix I did a while ago doesn’t work. I’m pretty stumped on it and I did capture some photos.

It gets stuck loading this process

Same here

Then it passes them and tries something else

Then we enter this never ending loop.
So what do you guys think? New install of fedora needed or do I need a new ssd?


I had the same issue a few weeks ago, same error message. You can find a post about it on my profile. Turns out my BIOS was somehow set to RAID mode and system could not see the drive. I switched it to AHCI and everything was fixed. Check your BIOS settings, if you won’t find the problem there also send DMESG logs from a live USB when it scans for drives.
