Samuel has already answered your question to your satisfaction, so this
is just for future reference.  At this point you could have used
man mount
to see how mount works.  With your background you are fully capable of
resolving simple errors like this.  Mount doesn't create the mount
point, so my memory was faulty and the mount point didn't already
exist.  Samuel got around this by using plain /mnt, as that always
exists, but if there is anything else trying to use /mnt/[some
directory], that will cause problems (unlikely from an ISO, though).

Something that has worked for me in the past is to chroot to the
installed system as you already are and then run
dnf update
to bring the system fully up to date.  Often that will resolve a
problem.

But all this is irrelevant if the problem is hardware.
