Barry, From the bugzilla.redhat.com website I got some information which I tried. IT WORKED!!! Yay... but, there's more... :(
I ran these commands: dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide followed by dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel These two commands got me to kernel 6.17.12-200.fc42.x86_64+debug The panic has gone but in its place are some strange error(?) messages that are meaningless to me (see below). I couldn't find much info on the web about these messages. What I did find is vague suggestions(?) like "update your workqueue settings" but just where they are located is STILL a mystery. Sigh. MSGS: [Thu Dec 18 16:00:32 2025] workqueue: drm_fb_helper_damage_work hogged CPU for >10000us 4 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND [Thu Dec 18 16:00:32 2025] workqueue: drm_fb_helper_damage_work hogged CPU for >10000us 5 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND [Thu Dec 18 16:00:33 2025] workqueue: drm_fb_helper_damage_work hogged CPU for >10000us 7 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND I got these messages after a umount of a 24TB btrfs filesystem which took a (relatively) LONG TIME `1 minute. Usually this happens REALLY quickly. Sigh... A subsequent reboot froze the system (which had trouble finishing shutting down) for several minutes. The system finally "woke up" when I powered off the 24TB external USB connected hard drive. I'm trying to submit bugs for abrt which produces a REALLY NICE "details" popup... It's NOT "enabled" for copy/paste operations though... Yet another bug report.
