I upgraded 29-> 30. Now I can't even get to the boot screen. I've made
a live usb stick, but the stick only wants to install a completely new

installation.

The live system should recognize the installed system.  I think it will
be mounted under /mnt/sysimage already, but if not you can just mount
it.  That will allow you to look at things from the live system, and
even edit them.  Look at /boot/efi to see if it is there, and updated
to F30.

If I had to guess the upgrade screwed up the the UEFI boot. I can boot
to bios, but not to the boot loader.

It would be puzzling if that was true.  The upgrade to F30 should have
just upgraded what you already had.  Are you sure the upgrade was
successful?  If you boot into the upgraded system as MBR, can you run a
dnf update?  Is it running an F30 kernel?

Thanks for the response.

Nothing is mounted under /mnt/sysimage. What should I mount there ? The installed "/" partition ?

Not sure what you mean by "boot into upgraded system as MBR". I can see the F30 kernel in the installed /boot partition.
