Where is the "6.5.12" kernel coming from, since you don't actually have it installed?  Try dnf upgrading your kernel.

-bash.12[~]: uname -a
Linux coyote 6.5.12-200.fc38.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Nov 20 22:12:09 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux
-bash.13[~]:

The grub menu also showed 6.5.12 in the top line.

What does "rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz-6.5.12*" show?

Do I need something more than "dnf --refresh upgrade", or will that be sufficient?

That should be all you need.

-bash.13[~]: rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz-6.5.12*
file /boot/vmlinuz-6.5.12-200.fc38.x86_64 is not owned by any package
-bash.14[~]:

I'm really curious how you managed to do that.
Check your dnf history.

I'll await your reply to that before proceeding with the "dnf --refresh upgrade".

Go ahead and see what happens.

(sigh)
ok, here we go...
I rebooted and logged in as root.
I did "dnf --refresh upgrade dnf"; that upgraded 7 packages.  (none were upgraded by the mid-day upgrade)
I did "dnf --refresh upgrade"...
- 792 packages were upgraded, plus a few new installs and a few removals.
- Only one package, something to do with caja, had trouble during the download phase.  That download was successfully retried.
- Update phase was long and slow, but I saw  no problems.
- Clean-up phase had a huge number of failures (warnings), mostly no such file or directory, mostly files with long names that looked they were hex numbers.
- the akmod and mandb tasks ran for a while, then the screen went black.
- I waited 15+ minutes, then shut off the power.
- I powered up and booted; I saw no problems.
- No problem logging in.  Everything looks "normal" so far.  Both monitors look fine.
I did do a quick disk check (gsmartcontrol); no indication of trouble.

I would like to run a memory test.  Does what Fedora offers now work?  I recall from a previous thread that it does not.  If it does, please remind me how to install it.

Today's (mountain time) entries from dnf history are:
ID     | Command line              | Date and time    | Action(s)      | Altered
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1525 | -y install --disablerepo= | 2023-11-23 18:45 | Install        |    1
  1524 | --refresh upgrade         | 2023-11-23 18:26 | C, E, I, O, U  |  817 EE
  1523 | --refresh upgrade dnf     | 2023-11-23 18:20 | Upgrade        |    7 E<
  1522 | upgrade                   | 2023-11-23 12:25 | C, E, I, U     |   83 >
Before the 12:25 "upgrade", there was a "dnf --refresh upgrade dnf", but that resulted in "nothing to do".

I'm as much at a loss as you as to what really happened in the mid-day dnf commands.  I'm also at a loss as to why the clean-up this evening had so many failures.

Well, so far, things look normal now.  Is it worth pursuing this any further?  By the way, current kernel:
