It turns out that even though it wasn't mounting the old partition grub is still pointing to it for the kernels and since the 5.10.22 is the latest kernel on that partition it is the one it is loading. > I just kept doing my updates not noticing that it was running the old kernel after the reboots until the 5.10.22 kernel "aged" out and was removed from the system.

What is included will allow the node to boot and at least get the root filesystems mounted so it can change root into it, but may not be able to mount any filesystems with filesystems not needed for boot. Usually the only obvious things like usb and/or network break when you no longer have a /lib/modules for the kernel. So generally it is not at all obvious as only a few items fail here and there, and some of those items (say firewall/iptables) aren't going to often be obvious (outside of the systemd start failure scrolling by). I booted a rescue kernel missing a /lib/modules a few days ago, and the non-bonding single network interfaces worked and almost everything else worked but network bonding did not work as that was not in the initrd. I figured out quickly the module was missing but it took me another minute or 2 to realize all of the kernels modules were missing (the directory structure for it was still there). _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
