Kernel update to 6.12.5-311 broke system

tomocafe

After performing a full update which included upgrading the kernel from 6.11.10-310-1-x86_64 to 6.12.5-311-1-x86_64, I get the following errors on boot:

error preparing initrd : device error
start_image() returned Device Error
StartImage failed: Service Error

Booting to the previous kernel works, but I'd like to figure out why this broke my system.

Seems like this is happening sporadically for people with the NVIDIA proprietary driver. Unsure why.

I created a bug for this.
