Since the upgrade reboot, when I KVM to the Thinkpad, I see blank

I've tried a couple times to reboot it to rescue mode, but it ignores
that.
What graphics device do you have?
I can get to the line at the beginning of the boot process which
is supposed to make it boot into rescue mode, but that has no effect.
There is no "rescue mode" in the boot menu. That entry is for an initrd
that has all the kernel drivers, not just the ones for that specific
machine. For a real rescue mode, you need to use one of the net install
iso images.
One option is to add "3" at the end of the kernel command line and if
that doesn't work, then try "single". The first one should get a full
running system with not graphics and the second one should be a minimal
boot. Either way, you should be able to access the previous logs and
find out what's happening.
Do I go looking for a live distro that may let me mount the Thpd's
hard drive and try to fix the panels somehow?
Do I just call it a total loss and install F 32 from a freshly
downloaded iso on a thumb drive?
Those are related. You can put a Fedora live image on a thumb drive and
boot it and if necessary do the re-install from it as well.
