Re: Removing 5.19 kernel; dnf wants to remove 501 other packages too.
Hi, Thanks to those who responded! Sam, Dan, Adam, Sergio... The problem has been resolved. I removed all but the kernel-headers package and paused there to run vboxconfig. I got lucky so I stopped... Otherwise I would have done the suggested "dnf distro-sync kernel-headers" command. I experienced other problems during this "project", namely the command line length problem in the grub menu entry (extensive cursor movement caused an apparent system freeze). Should I write this up? I also have been having trouble booting with the 5.19 kernels. After the dracut-post processing, something runs through devices by UUID but NEVER completes so... NO BOOT. Should I write this up? Otherwise, things are GREAT here (at the moment anyway)... SO. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HELP!!! Best regards and STAY SAFE!

You can do what Sergio suggested - `dnf distro-sync kernel-headers`.

Sergio, Thanks for responding to my plea... It's definitely appreciated. Part of the install of VirtualBox is the compilation of LKMs which use the kernel headers. Since 5-19 lacks support in VB (as far as I know at this point), if I run vboxconfig to recompile the LKMs, that compilation would fail and VB would stop working (I think). Parts of me thinks that if the compile fails, the targets of the compile process would remain unchanged but I'm not willing to take the chance. Sigh... Am I missing something here?

Re: Removing 5.19 kernel; dnf wants to remove 501 other packages too.
Dan, Thanks for responding to this plea for help... It's appreciated. I had "frozen" this system at the "release" of the 5.18 kernel... but goofed and let the 5.19 kernel get installed. So, by letting the 5.19 kernel get installed, EVERYTHING that uses the kernel headers was upgraded. Yes? In the past I have tried to downgrade from an installed package but got messages about the previous version(s) were not available in the repositories. I suspect that this is also the case with this current situation. Yes? There's no way to go except forward. Am I right? On the 5.19 problems and booting: The boot gets as far as the dracut-pre-mount hook which appears to succeed but then something starts looking at devices(?) vi UUID. In my previous experiences with the 5.19 kernel, this NEVER succeeds. Some kind of bug? Worth reporting? My current grub command line is 3 screen lines long. I had "quiet" added to this line but tried to edit this out temporarily from the command line by typing "e" at the grub menu. I get the requested grub entry but when I try to move the cursor (either forward or backward from the command line, the cursor moves a bit but then the system just freezes. Another bug? Worth reporting? As if this situation isn't bad enough, there are over 4000 upgrades that are broken and/or have dependencies unavailable. This situation began with the perl fiasco. I haven't had the time to figure out just what the problem is now. Otherwise, the system is at the current bleeding edge as far as upgrades are concerned. It really looks like I've stepped in it this time. Any suggestions, help, hints, tips would be greatly appreciated. At least the 5.18 kernel runs... Sigh. Best regards, George...

Removing 5.19 kernel; dnf wants to remove 501 other packages too.
Hi, I'm having trouble with dnf and the 5.19 kernel.
