Must remove a partially installed kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Everyone:

The worst problem I have so far discovered about Fedora 42 is that the
DNF updater does not work as it once did. The "updates ready" icon no
longer shows, and one attempt I made to update packages with it, ended
with a kernel entry in the boot loader (GRUB?) that causes a panic
when I try to load it. This is Kernal Build 6:14.4 for the x86_64
architecture.

If I didn't retain two known good kernels with every upgrade, I would
have "bricked" this computer. Happily, I have Build 6.14.3 available
to use. But because it's not at the top of the list, I must
consciously select it every time.

What I want to do is to install 6.14.4 in a working version. I'm
guessing that I need to remove the corrupt 6.14.4 installation I have,
then run, say, "sudu dnf upgrade --refresh" again and have that
routine install the kernel "fresh." But I'm afraid to try to work out
the commands, because I might remove all kernels and then my system
would really be "bricked."

So: could someone tell me what commands to issue, in their proper
order, to get Kernel build 6.14.3 working again?

Two outputs follow below.
