Without it, I might not have been able to recognize or view
the kernel crash output this morning h/t

I sure hope we can get this fixed :-) Whatever broke it
happened after f23, since it worked splendidly right up until
about Saturday, when I overwrote f23 with f24 (clean
install).
For me, all i686-kernels >= 4.5 were just plain dysfunctional, seemingly because of i915/i945GSE problems on an older N270-based netbook.

Did you look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F24_bugs before
choosing to replace your functioning installation with a pre-release?
The very first bug there should have given you cause to investigate
before disposing of your full functionality. We've been having trouble
with 32 bit Intel for several months.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1302071 was filed
more than 4 months ago, and is not! marked FIXED. This mailing list has
warned of various 32 bit troubles several times since then. I have
several F24 installations on Intel i686, probably all of which have been
non-functional with some or all kernels since F23 was released.

For me, this morning came with a surprise:
kernel-4.5.5-201.fc23
and
kernel-4.5.5-300.fc24
(Both currently in koji) were the first kernel-packages from the 4.5.x-series which seem to work for me on above-mentioned netbook.

If you want a working system back soon, I suggest you consider either
restoring your backup of F23 if you have one, reinstalling F23 if you
don't, or, now that i686 is being squeezed out of Fedora, consider a
different (Plasma 5, or lighter weight) distro with less evolutionary
activity.
Is FESCo or the Board still wondering why Fedora is loosing users? ;)
