Hello,

There's a DNF plugin to update the system. More information here:  https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-25-fedora-26

Kind regards,
Silvia

I installed the 25th version last year and have upgraded to the 26th
one when it was realesed. The old kernel still appear at the boot.

Follow a screenshot of the terminal.

My update-to-date 26 has only 4.13 kernels installed now. The kernel packages have been updated many times, and the 4.13 kernels are the only kernels anyone should have installed, on an up-to-date system, at this time.

The reference in your message to some 4.11 kernel package suggests to me that your packages got screwed up, at some point.

Each kernel version consists of, at least, three packages that have matching versions and releases: kernel, kernel-core, and kernel-modules. There are a few other optional subpackages, like kernel-headers, that might be installed.

Use the "uname -a" command to see which kernel version and release you successfully booted.

Use the "rpm -qa 'kernel*' | sort" command to see a list of kernel packages installed.

You will need to figure out which good kernel installs you have. At the bare minimum, you should have kernel, kernel-core, and kernel-modules packages installed for whatever kernel version 'uname -a' shows. That goes without saying, since you won't be able to boot, otherwise.

Then, ideally, you should have one or two earlier versions of the kernel also properly installed.

Any other 'kernel*' packages you see, especially the ones that are much older, are most certainly a result of some earlier upgrade problem you had, that left some garbage behind. You should be able to manually get rid of them with 'rpm -e'. Afterwards, "dnf upgrade" should be able to proceed.

Also, once 27 is released, "dnf upgrade" won't really upgrade you to 27. You will need to use fedup for that.
