Since the upgrade reboot, when I KVM to the Thinkpad, I see blank flashing panels on each monitor. There is no terminal emulator anywhere. I've tried a couple times to reboot it to rescue mode, but it ignores that.
What graphics device do you have?
I can get to the line at the beginning of the boot process which is supposed to make it boot into rescue mode, but that has no effect.
There is no "rescue mode" in the boot menu. That entry is for an initrd that has all the kernel drivers, not just the ones for that specific machine. For a real rescue mode, you need to use one of the net install iso images.
One option is to add "3" at the end of the kernel command line and if that doesn't work, then try "single". The first one should get a full running system with not graphics and the second one should be a minimal boot. Either way, you should be able to access the previous logs and find out what's happening.
Do I go looking for a live distro that may let me mount the Thpd's hard drive and try to fix the panels somehow? Do I just call it a total loss and install F 32 from a freshly downloaded iso on a thumb drive?
Those are related. You can put a Fedora live image on a thumb drive and boot it and if necessary do the re-install from it as well.
