Whenever I load 5.11 kernel, I get stuck in "loading initial ramdisk" screen.
Here is the image: https://i.imgur.com/8dg1NVk.jpg

Select it from your bootloader. I would be more specific if you had been.

Also remove plymouth and the quiet parameter.

Nope. Still the same.

If there was no more output with plymouth and quiet removed, add ignore_loglevel earlyprintk=efi.keep if there is still no output add acpi=off iommu=soft

I don't have them installed.

Add to where?

See kernel parameters. Start with removing quiet and splash as seth requested then add the ones I suggested.

Now it let me to this (even with the lts one): https://i.imgur.com/YiQiXtJ.jpg
Looks like I borked it. So much so that I had to reset grub to "loglevel=3 quiet".

The image shows 5.11.8 booted and loaded the initrd but the initrd could not load the root file-system so dropped you to a rescue shell.

Encountered a similiar problem on AMD Stoney hardware running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, kernel appeared to boot but couldn't load initramfs.
Upstream report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212133
Related to IOMMU changes for 5.11 series. Using iommu=soft kernel parameter, I can get that system to boot and load initramfs without issue.
You have Stoney Ridge hardware also, so it's worth a try.

Boot from a usb key (eg. your installation iso or grml), mount your root partition to /mnt, conditionally the boot partition to /mnt/boot and compare "lsblk -f" w/ /mnt/etc/fstab and /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg entries.
You can use the tip in the first link in my signature to upload files and output from the console.
If the UUIDs match, the device might just be slow to appear, try the "rootdelay" and/or "rootwait" kernel parameters, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torva … meters.txt

I added "iommu=soft" right next to "loglevel=3 quiet" and it worked!
Thank you very much.

The patches for the linked bug report are in 5.11.9 if you want to remove iommu=soft
