The following procedure did NOT fix my problem. Using RPM instead of DNF still did not install the new kernel in /boot. Note, the new kernel is not in /boot when I start. > # ls /boot > 7725dfc225d14958a625ddaaaea5962b > config-4.14.11-300.fc27.x86_64 > efi > extlinux > grub2 > initramfs-0-rescue-7725dfc225d14958a625ddaaaea5962b.img > initramfs-4.14.11-300.fc27.x86_64.img > initrd-plymouth.img > loader > lost+found > System.map-4.14.11-300.fc27.x86_64 > vmlinuz-0-rescue-7725dfc225d14958a625ddaaaea5962b > vmlinuz-4.14.11-300.fc27.x86_64 RPM won't install the new kernel since it is already installed. > # mkdir temp > # cd temp > # dnf download kernel-core-4.15.9-300.fc27.x86_64 > # rpm -ivh kernel-core-4.15.9-300.fc27.x86_64 > Preparing... ################################# [100%] > package kernel-core-4.15.9-300.fc27.x86_64 is already installed Get the rescue directory out of the way.
