[SOLVED] Fedora 37 after upgrade from 36

fredonmac · 12-13-2022, 09:23 AM

I run the Aarch64 version on an M1 MacMini under UTM/QEMU.
After upgrade to Fedora 37 I got different kernel Versions.
How I could change to the last kernel 6.0.12-300.fc37?

Code:

How did you upgrade? The normal result of a Fedora 36 to 37 upgrade is installation and use of the latest F37 kernel. Are vmlinuz-6.0.*-30?.fc37 present in /boot/ along with 5.18.17-200.fc36? Are stanzas in your bootloader for 6.0.* kernels present? I don't use aarch64, so don't know what bootloader it uses or how it is configured there. But, I have found it is possible for F37 kernel installation to fail to put everything traditionally required into /boot/. When that happens, I copy vmlinuz from /usr/lib/modules/<version>/ to /boot/, rename it to include the applicable version string, then create a bootloader stanza for it manually, before it becomes usable. Alternatively, a boot stanza can be created that loads vmlinuz directly from the applicable /usr/lib/modules/ directory.

I made screenshots about

Please do not post screenshots for directory listings or other command output. Use a terminal and ls -gG, redirecting command output to a file first if it will help you, then copy and paste the command or file content here using code tags. Your first screenshot doesn't list any kernels. So, we still don't know if /boot/ contains any kernels.

Now I downloaded the new Fedora-Workstation-Live-aarch64-37-1.7.iso and install a new VM.
With this and after updates after installing the newest kernel works.

I think something went wrong with the upgrade from ver 36 to ver 37
I deleted the old VM. I still had a backup of this older VM via the Mac TimeMachine backup.
