Someone also reported nosound after 5.19.8 so it sounds like a lot of
the modules either weren't built (at all or correct) or were not
included in the install rpms.

a "find /lib/modules/kernelversion -name "*ko*" -ls | wc -l against it
might tell you if the count is significantly different.

% find /lib/modules/5.19.8-200.fc36.x86_64 -name "*ko*" -ls | wc -l  
4097
% find /lib/modules/5.19.9-200.fc36.x86_64 -name "*ko*" -ls | wc -l
1878

 

Also doing;
diff /boot/config-5.19.[89]*  would show if the config files
controlling module builds was different.

% diff /boot/config-5.19.[89]*
3c3

IWLMEI pulls in a bunch of modules, but over 2000 seems excessive!

% find /lib/modules/5.19.[89]-200.fc36.x86_64 -name "*ko*" | grep hfsplus
/lib/modules/5.19.8-200.fc36.x86_64/kernel/fs/hfsplus/hfsplus.ko.xz
% grep -i hfsplus /boot/config-5.19.[89]*                  
/boot/config-5.19.8-200.fc36.x86_64:CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS=m
/boot/config-5.19.9-200.fc36.x86_64:CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS=m

Looks like the 5-19.9 package installation missed hfsplus.ko, needed for dual

boot with macOS.   Gnome Software update is showing 5.19.9 as an available

update despite the fact that it was installed a few days ago.  I updated using

dnf on the command-line and the system is now booting 5.19.9.   Looks like

there was a bad 5.19.9 update that has been fixed.
