Where is the "6.5.12" kernel coming from, since you don't actually have it installed? Try dnf upgrading your kernel.

The grub menu also showed 6.5.12 in the top line.
What does "rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz-6.5.12*" show?
Do I need something more than "dnf --refresh upgrade", or will that be sufficient?
That should be all you need.
-bash.13[~]: rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz-6.5.12* file /boot/vmlinuz-6.5.12-200.fc38.x86_64 is not owned by any package -bash.14[~]:
I'm really curious how you managed to do that. Check your dnf history.
I'll await your reply to that before proceeding with the "dnf --refresh upgrade".
Go ahead and see what happens.
(sigh) ok, here we go... I rebooted and logged in as root. I did "dnf --refresh upgrade dnf"; that upgraded 7 packages. (none were upgraded by the mid-day upgrade) I did "dnf --refresh upgrade"... - 792 packages were upgraded, plus a few new installs and a few removals. - Only one package, something to do with caja, had trouble during the download phase. That download was successfully retried. - Update phase was long and slow, but I saw no problems. - Clean-up phase had a huge number of failures (warnings), mostly no such file or directory, mostly files with long names that looked they were hex numbers. - the akmod and mandb tasks ran for a while, then the screen went black. - I waited 15+ minutes, then shut off the power. - I powered up and booted; I saw no problems. - No problem logging in. Everything looks "normal" so far. Both monitors look fine. I did do a quick disk check (gsmartcontrol); no indication of trouble.
I would like to run a memory test. Does what Fedora offers now work? I recall from a previous thread that it does not. If it does, please remind me how to install it.
Today's (mountain time) entries from dnf history are: ID | Command line | Date and time | Action(s) | Altered -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1525 | -y install --disablerepo= | 2023-11-23 18:45 | Install | 1 1524 | --refresh upgrade | 2023-11-23 18:26 | C, E, I, O, U | 817 EE 1523 | --refresh upgrade dnf | 2023-11-23 18:20 | Upgrade | 7 E< 1522 | upgrade | 2023-11-23 12:25 | C, E, I, U | 83 > Before the 12:25 "upgrade", there was a "dnf --refresh upgrade dnf", but that resulted in "nothing to do".
I'm as much at a loss as you as to what really happened in the mid-day dnf commands. I'm also at a loss as to why the clean-up this evening had so many failures.
Well, so far, things look normal now. Is it worth pursuing this any further? By the way, current kernel: ----- -bash.2[~]: uname -a Linux coyote 6.5.12-200.fc38.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Nov 20 22:12:09 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux -bash.3[~]: -----
