I got it running. The write-up will not be super complete, but here goes. When I checked for kernels, I saw that there was a new one available (6.9.9?) That installed OK, and seemed to resolve the uname-r issue. Another package (ko-something) that was part of the plamsa desktop was causing a problem. I removed plasma desktop, and was able to continue. (I've since re-installed, and KDE is working) It seems I only see one small problem at this point. libvt-daemon is 4.1.0-1.fc28 (!) so I suspect that this may have been quietly lurking for a while. It will not uninstall, even if I have a newer one installed and updated. I've double-checked, and removed the last remaining VM on this machine, no longer an issue. I am able to boot fully now, as multi-user, as well as graphical. I think that with this mess, between the hardware failure, and the disaster, and subsequent recovery, I may just move all of my work off of this machine, and onto a newer one, and finally semi-retire this laptop.
