Evidently, RPM thinks they should be in /boot (as I would expect):
$ rpm -qa --filesbypkg | grep -i vmlinuz

Just as a matter of interest, the directories on my system in
/boot/"rescue directory", of which there are only 3 matching the
installed kernels are all empty.
Also, where are the config, initramfs and system.map files stored for
the kernels you have installed?
I also have a couple of questions (which may be off topic here) around
the contents of /boot.
With the dkms compiling of my wifi, nvidia and mouse drivers, a recent
innovation in dkms is to run dracut. The first thing that dracut does is
create a backup copy of the relevant initramfs before it rebuilds it.
Are we required to manually remove those dracut created backups when dnf
removes the associated kernel?
Secondly, does anyone else have .vmlinuz.hmac-$(kernelver) files lying
around in /boot? I have a mountain of these in there, of which only 1
actually matches an installed kernel. The name of one of these files,
because its name is non-standard compared to the rest, is potentially
giving an indication of where they originated from, but I just wanted to
check whether they were normal, and whether or not like the dracut
backup, we are expected to remove them manually?

Steve
