Everyone: The worst problem I have so far discovered about Fedora 42 is that the DNF updater does not work as it once did. The "updates ready" icon no longer shows, and one attempt I made to update packages with it, ended with a kernel entry in the boot loader (GRUB?) that causes a panic when I try to load it. This is Kernal Build 6:14.4 for the x86_64 architecture.
If I didn't retain two known good kernels with every upgrade, I would have "bricked" this computer. Happily, I have Build 6.14.3 available to use. But because it's not at the top of the list, I must consciously select it every time. What I want to do is to install 6.14.4 in a working version. I'm guessing that I need to remove the corrupt 6.14.4 installation I have, then run, say, "sudu dnf upgrade --refresh" again and have that routine install the kernel "fresh." But I'm afraid to try to work out the commands, because I might remove all kernels and then my system would really be "bricked." So: could someone tell me what commands to issue, in their proper order, to get Kernel build 6.14.3 working again? Two outputs follow below.
