Hi Hellwig,

I bisected my boot problem down to this commit:

$ git bisect good
af2814149883e2c1851866ea2afcd8eadc040f79 is the first bad commit
commit af2814149883e2c1851866ea2afcd8eadc040f79

      block: freeze the queue in queue_attr_store

      queue_attr_store updates attributes used to control generating I/O, and
      can cause malformed bios if changed with I/O in flight.  Freeze the queue
      in common code instead of adding it to almost every attribute.

Curious, does your init scripts attempt to load a modular scheduler
for your root drive?
I have no idea, this is just a standard Fedora 40.

I will try to apply and adjust manually.
Just apply it on top of current -git, doesn't have to be your bisection
point.
I applied it manually and now my testlab server boots :-)
Excellent! I'll get it staged for 6.11 instead. Thank for reporting and
testing.
Just with the patch[1] on top of bisection point
... as it was faster to recompile this way ;-)
That's a pathetic excuse for a test box then ;-)
