Since kernel 6.8.10-300.fc40.x86_64, boot hangs on KDE Plasma (kernel

I found that there is a job running infinitely:

'Job dev-disk-by\x2duuid-8e895....running ...'
The above mentioned UUID (8e895 ...) corresponds to the kernel
'resume=uuid=...' command line parameter.

A small nit... Boot is probably not hanging. You have not waited long
enough for the timeouts and the fschk.

You should either (1) ensure disk UUIDs are correct, or (2) disable
suspend. A good discussion in the context of Ubuntu is at
<https://askubuntu.com/a/1087262>.

I've also seen a missing swap file cause the condition. In my case, I
deleted the swap file, extended the physical size of the drive, and
then created a new swap file at the end of the free space. The swap
file's UUID changed, and it caused the slow boot waiting for timeouts
and the fschk.
