I just tried upgrading to Fedora 43 after not using my laptop for a couple months. I went through the Discover application. Discover performed all other updates before it performed the 43 upgrade, which includes a BIOS update. After upgrading to 43, the laptop always gets stuck at a black screen as outlined in these posts on the Fedora form:
Updated from 42 to 43: now only get black screen
Fedora 43 KDE sometimes boots to a black screen
Talk: Fedora 43 KDE sometimes boots to a black screen
Fedora 43 black screen. (Workarounds do not work for me)
I’ve tried editing the boot command as mentioned in all of these posts to remove the rhgb argument and adding the nomodeset argument. It give me this prompt, I enter the passphrase, and then I get the black screen:

Have any other Framework Fedora users encountered this? Anyone have feedback on what to do?
Side note: It seems that every time I’ve upgraded Fedora, the previous version is still listed in grub. Don’t know what that’s about. Doesn’t look like 43 installed correctly, either:
