Depending on how many times you've booted since the upgrade attempt something like "journalctl -b -1" should work and then search for when the upgrade started.pr 18 06:53:01 nbecker2 dnf-3[866]: Error:

Apr 18 06:53:01 nbecker2 systemd[1]: dnf-system-upgrade.service: Triggering _OnFailure_= dependencies.When I had run sudo dnf upgrade --refresh I had trouble running because there wasn't enough space on /boot, so I edited /etc/dnf/dnf.conf to setinstallonly_limit=2which allowed dnf upgrade --refresh to proceed. I now have 47% usage on /boot. But this error seems related, because I saw the same error when I tried to remove old kernels before I set installonly_limit=2.I don't suppose there's any useful output above the error?One option would be to update to the F42 kernel since they'll generally work across releases:sudo dnf --releasever=42 update kernelI did:sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=42 --allowerasing --bestNote that it runs and passes transaction check and test before reboot.Then I also ran:sudo dnf --releasever=42 update kernelThis time when rebooted I got:

If that's the order you ran the commands you needed to reverse it. After upgrading to the f42 kernel you need to rerun the system-upgrade so that the transaction is updated so it knows it doesn't need to remove the old kernel or install the new kernel.
Thanks,
Richard
