Hi I did a manual dracut as suggested except I had to specify the .img filename otherwise it just generated a file 4.13.5-100.fc25.x86_64 :) which is not what grub is looking for. I did: /usr/bin/dracut -f -H -v --debug initramfs-4.13.5-100.fc25.x86_64.img 4.13.5-100.fc25.x86_64 which worked - so I wonder why the package install doesn't do it? Now running: 4.13.5-100.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 6 01:01:44 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I just hope the same thing doesnt happen on the next kernel update. Thanks Andy
