Ok, the install didn't get very far then.


Though I did not watch the whole system upgrade, my impression was that it was successful.  It was during the post-upgrade tasks when the real trouble started, specifically the "remove-retired-packages" step.  That crashed or hung.  I rebooted and finished that step (I'm wondering if that was a big mistake!).  It sure deleted a lot of packages.

I don't know what that step is, but it shouldn't be deleting a lot of packages. You don't appear to have any F40 packages, at least not from the lists you've shown. Where did you find that step and what does it involve?

Are these the things that I should dnf remove?

no

Regardless of which grub line I use to boot, rpm -qa | grep nvidia gives this:

It doesn't matter which grub entry you use, you're still booting the same system.

Am I correct in assuming it does not matter whether I boot from the f-39 or the f-40 grub entry when trying things?

Mostly correct, other than which kernel has the nvidia drivers available.  But you're not using a graphical interface anyway.

It looks like the install crashed really early.  Try doing the system- upgrade again.


Did it crash?  Shall I proceed with re-doing it?  It will take a few hours.

Something must have crashed, because the upgrade wasn't completed. So if it will run again, do that.
