This OS version ... dracut (Init ramfs) is past its end-of-support date

[Frédéric]

Hi,

I get this strange message when I boot:
[ ↑↑ ] This OS version (Fedora Linux 38 (Thirty Eight)
dracut-059-5.fc38 (Init ramfs)) is past its end-of-support date
(2024-05-14).

Is it because F38 is past end of support or is it just related to dracut?

Thanks

F38 was EOLed several days ago.

Sadly thats a week out of date due to a snafu pushing an update of
fedora-release out. ;(

The EOL date is tomorrow ( 2024-05-21 ).
