I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem. I have not had this problem before since I use /etc/dnf/dnf.conf to block kernel updates to prevent spamming /boot with every minor update. Until yesterday my running kernel was 5.0.7-200.fc29.x86_64 I intended to upgrade from Fed29 to Fe

Hello, I also noted that /boot/grub/grub2.cfg was not updated after a kernel update. However, grubenv and /boot/loader/entries are updated. But, finally every thing is OK, ie. the boot offers the correct the kernel options! =
