Hi!
I received new PCs for a lab and I installed a dual boot Windows 11 and Fedora 42. On another lab I successfully deployed dual boot Windows 10 and Fedora 42 in July, last year.
I was expecting UEFI and boot issues like I had previously, but Windows 11 works fine. Yesterday, when booting into Linux, the system stops with:
[FAILED] Failed to listen on dbus.socket - D-BUS System Message Bus Socket.
[DEPEND] Dependency failedfor upower.service - Daemon for powermanagement.

Since then I created a new image with more software on Windows, and never changed Linux, but now I get:

Generating "/run/initramfs/rdosreport.txt"
Entering emergency mode. Exit the shell to ...
Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked.

What could be thew problem?
Thanks and regards
