[SOLVED] vfat mount failing on linux-zen 6.9.5

After upgrading to 6.9.5 I'm failing to start properly because can't mount a boot (EFI) partition. I can't mount it even via rescue mode!

Jun 18 23:33:12 powernecrosis systemd[1]: Mounting /boot...
Jun 18 23:33:12 powernecrosis mount[602]: mount: /boot: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'.
Jun 18 23:33:12 powernecrosis mount[602]:        dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
Jun 18 23:33:12 powernecrosis systemd[1]: boot.mount: Mount process exited, code=exited, status=32/n/a
Jun 18 23:33:12 powernecrosis systemd[1]: boot.mount: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Jun 18 23:33:12 powernecrosis systemd[1]: Failed to mount /boot.

Downgrading to 6.9.4 helps. Any suggestions?

When it fails to mount, check uname -r. I bet you're still booting the old kernel.

Yeah! You right. I've start digging into problem and it looks like the source of the problem was a cloned disk, that I've cloned from my working disk before rebooting. I removed it physically and now it starts!
