On local 3 notebooks, was able to to remove oldest kernel using
dnf, and modifying the dnf.conf to only allow 2 kernels.
Then the install went thru ok.
On one I shifted / partition over 512M and expanded /boot to make
it 1.5G now.
I've got 5 other machines that are 7 timezones away, and did same
process to get them to be able to install new kernels.
Current notebook has a 1.5G boot so has the 3 kernels and rescue
kernel.

Just looking at img files.

Have used dnfup for long time, so not sure if size was changed at
some point. Just checked a recent install on 2TB system, and it
shows boot as 1G?
But seeing its img files about 100M smaller than on this one?

So, not sure why huge difference in sizes?
There was a dracut change that made the initramfs files bigger. There
is discussion about changing the setting back.
