That sounds like an existing issue. dnf doesn't do anything other than
download the rpm files and set a flag to run the upgrade process instead
of a normal boot. It will use the current kernel and initramfs that you
were already using. At what point in the boot did that kernel panic happen?
I guess we'll never know. I needed to get the machine running so did a clean install from USB. The kernel panic screen didn't give any more information, I don't think I tried hitting esc to see more messages. Prior to reinstall F42 I was able to boot back into F41 using an older kernel, so maybe the particular kernel had an issue? In any case it's now running F42 without problems.
Reinstall went better than I expected, I was able to re-use my existing home which was a btrfs fs, and the installer did the right thing, not trying to create a new home dir for me.
