how is this second hit on google? dont do dis guys
In my case this left me without a grub entry pointing to a working kernel so after the reboot grub2 failed to find a working kernel. I was able to boot off a centos iso and rescue the system to get it mounted. Then installed the iso's kernel rpm into the mounted root. Then chroot to the mounted root and performed a grub2-mkconfig. That got me a working kernel and config. Once that was all done the reboot bought me back into a working system where these steps finished cleanly. So maybe before the reboot there should be an attempt to dnf install kernel? then a grub2-mkconfig to ensure grub's configs are updated to target that new kernel.
Thanks, It's not exactly the configuration I used but it was interresting.
If i can i will commit a Fork wen I will finished my configuration :)
why 3 lines instead of one?
dnf install epel-release rpmconf yum-utils
