Hi Hellwig,

I bisected my boot problem down to this commit:

$ git bisect good
af2814149883e2c1851866ea2afcd8eadc040f79 is the first bad commit

    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.
