Don't understand your logic??? It works with 6.18.16 but doesn't work with 6.19.6 kernel. Nothing else changes. VirtualBox is the same.akmods is the same. Only variable in the situation is the changes from kernel 6.18.16 to 6.19.6. So, something was changed in the build of 6.19.6. 2nd why does attempt to remove 6.19.6 result in DNF wanting to remove/change 77 packages? Difference on boot entries. cat 5454d68084c145e496d5ce383b5147de-6.19.6-200.fc43.x86_64.conf 5454d68084c145e496d5ce383b5147de-6.18.16-200.fc43.x86_64.co nf title Fedora Linux (6.19.6-200.fc43.x86_64) 43 (Workstation Edition) version 6.19.6-200.fc43.x86_64 linux /vmlinuz-6.19.6-200.fc43.x86_64 initrd /initramfs-6.19.6-200.fc43.x86_64.img $tuned_initrd options root=UUID=de10a0a9-fd86-4625-a768-67477a8a802d ro rhgb quiet $tuned_params grub_users $grub_users grub_arg --unrestricted grub_class fedora title Fedora Linux (6.18.16-200.fc43.x86_64) 43 (Workstation Edition) version 6.18.16-200.fc43.x86_64 linux /vmlinuz-6.18.16-200.fc43.x86_64 initrd /initramfs-6.18.16-200.fc43.x86_64.img $tuned_initrd options root=UUID=de10a0a9-fd86-4625-a768-67477a8a802d ro rhgb quiet $tuned_params grub_users $grub_users grub_arg --unrestricted grub_class fedora 6.18.16 works 6.19.6 doesn't. So, how can you say it isn't something that Fedora did.
