Re: Stuck Kernel Version.....
Well, seems I don't have to sweat this anymore, as my 1 yr old niece through her "overly active" curiosity, ensured that I will be needing to buy a new SSD and having the insides of my T-420 "blow dried"! LoL!..Thanks to all for the advice. And thank goodness for 2TB USB drives and my rigorous backups schedule! (although I think I'm just gong to nix all the customizations I had on there and will go with a plain vanilla install and keep it that way!...I mean don't get me wrong the Gnome extensions are awesome and all that ,but I have a feeling SOMETHING caused my kernel to get stuck to begin with!) Plus I get to install a fresh copy of F29 on my system!so no more seeing the fc27_x86-64 kernel in my boot up screens! Cheers!

Re: Stuck Kernel Version.....

Re: Stuck Kernel Version.....
To have a stuck kernel version, then what you have mounted at /boot is not what is booting your machine. You need to find the real /boot where ever it is hiding and mount it at /boot (and update /etc/fstab) and then do a "dnf reinstall" on each of the kernels you want to work, and then reboot making sure one of the new kernels is the default..

Can you show a listing of /boot? ls -n /boot/vmlinuz* so things are one line per kernel. How about your dnf.conf file? cat /etc/dnf/dnf.conf Do you have the versionlock plugin installed? Have you locked the kernel version using the versionlock plugin? Have you protected the kernel using the /etc/dnf/protected.d/dnf.conf file? Have you tried increasing the number of kernels allowed in dnf.conf? man dnf.conf ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
Re: Stuck Kernel Version.....
Ok I have gone nuts trying to figure this out, and I'm just about ready to just re-install the OS. (Fedora 29) I have been using Fedora since likeversion 12, and have experienced all kinds of issues but this one baffles me. So: I had updated from fc26 to fc27 successfully, but I have noticed that since upgrading from 27 to 28 that the kernel versions while they have gone up (e.g. from 3.12.203 >> 3.12.207 and these numbers I use are for example only!) I notice that the "fc" number has remained the same (in other words the "fc27" bit of the kernel name!) I have tried everything I have found online from trying to upgrade the kernel through the Terminal to trying to download, install, and compile a newer kernel version and no matter what I've tried that part remains the same. So my last attempt/effort will be a transfer of all my data and a complete re-install of F29. But it would be nice to know what might have caused this...in case it happens again!
