I have an older Dell laptop where the kernel does not install correctly. What I mean by that is that RPM and DNF will show that the kernel packages are installed, but if I run grub2-mkconfig to generate a new grub.cfg file, the new kernel is not offered as an option at boot time. This has been going on since Fedora 38 was on the machine, as it is still running an F38 kernel even though I recently upgraded it from F41 to F42. An identical Dell laptop does not have this issue and runs the new F42 kernels just fine.
I think this is related to the fact that for the newly-installed kernels, there is no vmlinuz or initramfs file for them in /boot. I did check to make sure that there is enough disk space, and I can actually build my own initramfs file for the newest kernel manually with dracut, but this does not fix the issue (no surprise since that does not create the vmlinuz file). Does anyone have an idea of where I might look to troubleshoot this? Thank you, --Greg
