      Here's an example of my Grub setting using UEFI on Fedora

      sudo cat /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv
      

      There we go.. grubenv is missing on my laptop.

      Remove grubenv, that's a nice update feature...

      The updates show that grub had changes. Shit happens with all OS.

      grub2-common                    noarch 1:2.02-103.fc31           updates 876 k
      grub2-efi-x64                   x86_64 1:2.02-103.fc31           updates 458 k
      grub2-pc-modules                noarch 1:2.02-103.fc31           updates 847 k
      grub2-tools                     x86_64 1:2.02-103.fc31           updates 1.8 M
      grub2-tools-efi                 x86_64 1:2.02-103.fc31           updates 469 k
      grub2-tools-extra               x86_64 1:2.02-103.fc31           updates 916 k
      grub2-tools-minimal             x86_64 1:2.02-103.fc31           updates 552 k

        I don't even if know if this will fix grub or not. But here you go.

        Create a new empty grubenv file in /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv.

        sudo grub2-editenv /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv create
        

        I noticed on my system, there is a symbolic of /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv in /boot/grub2/
        74e0d7c8-c3eb-40ce-a0ec-0bd242206235-image.png

        sudo ln -sf /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv /boot/grub2/grubenv
        

        Rebuild GRUB

        sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
        

        Rebuild initramfs images

        sudo dracut --force --regenerate-all
        

        And then reboot.

        Actually, the /boot/efi/ folder was completely empty. No sub-folders or anything.
        I made EFI/fedora in there and then the commands ran.

        But no change in behavior

          @JaredBusch got a backup that happened to grab /boot...?

          Or maybe copy what's needed from a working system?

            No backup since the data is sync'd.

            Mostly I'm trying to figure out how to resolve without a reinstall if possible for knowledge sake. Not to save my system.

                Had to be, as it was working. I shutdown to go home. Then it wasn't working.

                    Unless someone has any more ideas, I'm also out of ideas and I will have to reinstall since I will need my laptop on Wednesday and Thursday.

                      @JaredBusch said in Fedora 31 stuck in a boot loop:

                      Kernel 5.3.12-300 is current.
                      But both previous kernels fail also.
                      5.3.11-300
                      5.3.8-300

                      So this suggests that a library or something has failed, not the kernel. That's going to be a huge pain.

                        Right sounds like the grub update borked itself.

                          Can't provide any input but it's interesting to read the problems that shows up every time there is a new Fedora release out. Your customers are a forgiving bunch for sure.

                          That said, it's great for the open source community to have lots of people running the latest and greatest. 👍

                          I've been on Fedora about 2 years on my laptop now and I know exactly what you're talking about.

                          No new release issues on any Fedora system that I use, either. Been flawless and we use it across laptops, desktops, and servers.

                            I did have a Fedora 31 laptop (different model Dell than mine) spun up and logged in two weeks ago. I have ran updates on that one and rebooted. it is running fine.

                            Yeah, my Dell with F31 hasn't had an issue yet and I keep it updated.

                              They also showed that something new was being compiled against GLibC and the Kernel.

                                That's definitely my guess.

                                  @JaredBusch have you tried the boot loader rebuild process listed here?

                                    I don't have any internet. It only boots to emergency mode when I choose the rescue kernel. Anything else is the boot loop.

                                      What about booting to a rescue USB stick?

                                        I can boot to a live USB. try it from there you think?
