You can manually remove the packages. You might try that next since the dnf-system-upgrade script did not work for you. For each kernel version you want to remove, specify them explicitly. Here is what the names look like from an old F39 kernel on one of my machines: * kernel-6.5.11-300.fc39.x86_64 * kernel-core-6.5.11-300.fc39.x86_64 * kernel-modules-6.5.11-300.fc39.x86_64 * kernel-modules-core-6.5.11-300.fc39.x86_64 * kernel-modules-extra-6.5.11-300.fc39.x86_64 Now, if you encounter errors upon removal, then your RPM database probably needs to be repaired. And a sharp edge... The removal script has a bug, and it leaves artifacts in /lib/modules. See <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2185410>. For example, even though I removed 6.5.11-300.fc39, it still has artifacts in /lib/modules: $ ls /lib/modules 6.5.11-300.fc39.x86_64 6.5.12-300.fc39.x86_64 6.6.2-201.fc39.x86_64 You can delete the leftover artifacts with this script: clean_lib_modules() { if [[ -d "/lib/modules" ]]; then echo "Cleaning /lib/modules" mapfile -t dirs < <(ls /lib/modules) for dir in "${dirs[@]}" do dir="/lib/modules/${dir}" if [ "$(du -s -B 4096 "${dir}" | awk '{print $1}')" -lt 4096 ] then echo " removing ${dir}" rm -rf "${dir}" 2>/dev/null fi done fi } Jeff -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
