Good evening,
I did what was advised. Still no change. But I think there is a more fundamental problem here. The grub on my system came from"Boot-Repair-Disk", on a live-usb stick, not from any dnf install from a Fedora repository. So if Fedora's grub is customized or specialized in some way, I don't have that.
This shows that the grub.cfg file is getting updated by grub2-mkconfig:
bash.8[grub2]: ls -l /etc/default/grub
--------------------
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 463 Jun 30 18:34 /etc/default/grub
bash.9[grub2]: ls -l grub.cfg
-rw-------. 1 root root 14507 Jun 30 18:37 grub.cfg
bash.10[grub2]:
--------------------
The title at the top og GRUB's script-editing window reads "GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta3-5".
The grub.cfg file has these lines for the first grub menu entry:
--------------------
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
menuentry 'Fedora (4.11.6-201.fc25.x86_64) 25 (Twenty Five)' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --unrestricted $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-4.11.6-201.fc25.x86_64-advanced-45e553d2-fa0c-4eae-95f6-7bf9086ab74c' {
load_video
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,msdos3'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos3 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos3 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos3 --hint='hd0,msdos3' c6db3d91-f891-48a2-ae61-28ad5cc9c3a6
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root c6db3d91-f891-48a2-ae61-28ad5cc9c3a6
fi
linux16 /vmlinuz-4.11.6-201.fc25.x86_64 root=UUID=45e553d2-fa0c-4eae-95f6-7bf9086ab74c ro rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 rd.luks=0 vconsole.keymap=us rhgb quiet nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:off modprobe.blacklist=nouveau
initrd16 /initramfs-4.11.6-201.fc25.x86_64.img
}
--------------------
But when I reboot, the grub menu shows up, the first entry simply says "Fedora". When "Fedora" is highlighted, and I hit the 'e' key, a script editing window appears. In that script, the numbers for vmlinuz and initramfs are 4.11.5, not 4.11.6.
And I do have version4.11.6 of the kernel, though it's version 4.11.5 that's being booted:
--------------------

--------------------
>From all the above, my sense is that something more fundamental is wrong. What, I don't know.
Earlier today, as suggested by this list's guidelines, I created a Fedora People account so I could have a place to post things (logs, files, screen captures, etc.) for members of this list to view. But when I do the ssh command to connect, all I get is "permission denied". I was hoping to put a few files out there for you to examine for better clues. I'm guessing that that will now have to wait until after the Independence Day holiday.
thanks,
Bill.
