I mean this bug[1] that became a thing ever since we split up the kernel into lots of subpackages. Anaconda/DNF will install the wrong variant (like debug instead of regular) of any kernel subpackage because they all provide (and rightfully so) the same name. It breaks stuff as simple as having Wi-Fi in Fedora Workstation after netinstall, or makes it so that you can't rely on the "kernel-devel" requirement for dkms. It's a natural consequence of how our kernel packaging works, and how yum and dnf cannot infer the correct default flavor of kernel packages from the environment. I haven't installed from the DVD in a while, but last I recall, something about DVD installs prevents this from happening. It may very well occur now with DVD installs, too.
