Sure looks like the scriptlet didn't run. I think you should get a report about the initramfs image and the system map having different modes and that they're ghost files (not part of the package payload as they are created by the post-install scriptlet). I get: [root@golem4 boot]# rpm -V kernel-core-4.15.9-300.fc27.x86_64 .M....... g /boot/System.map-4.15.9-300.fc27.x86_64 .M....... g /boot/initramfs-4.15.9-300.fc27.x86_64.img (the "M" means different modes and the "g" means "ghost file"). Check your dnf logs to verify that something didn't go wrong during the install process. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "Hello.
