If not, you'll have to specify the file yourself. I don't know? I don't know where or what any of this should be doing, or it I'm doing the right thing. > "rpm -q kernel-core" > e.g. kernel-core-5.18.13-200.fc36.x86_64 > "dracut /boot/initramfs-5.18.13-200.fc36.x86_64.img 5.18.13-200.fc36.x86_64" > You will also have to re-install the kernel-core package to the vmlinuz > file installed. I'm sorry, I'm not quite understanding the instructions here? is "rpm -q kernel-core" a command I should run? if so, where/when? "e-install the kernel-core package to the vmlinuz " may as well be fre nch to me - I've been using linux for 4 weeks now and I'm sorry but I just don't understand this rapid fire technical jargon. > At this point, it might just be easier to do a backup and re-install. Not an option. If it comes to that, I'm done with my linux experiment. Theres a month of work gone into fixing all the bugs and glitches and problems I've run into, and the whole reason this thing started was because I couldn't get snapper to work properly to back up that work, and I was trying to troubleshoot that by testing it on a clean fresh 'test' installation, so I wouldn't risk my main one. Instead, it's killed it. _______________________________________________ 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, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
