Hello,
my upgrade attempt from Fedora 23 to Fedora 24 gave the folling error:
# dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=24 RPM Fusion for Fedora 24 - Free - Updates 453 kB/s | 185 kB 00:00 Adobe Systems Incorporated 10 kB/s | 1.8 kB 00:00 RPM Fusion for Fedora 24 - Nonfree - Updates 340 kB/s | 95 kB 00:00 RPM Fusion for Fedora 24 - Free 506 kB/s | 260 kB 00:00 RPM Fusion for Fedora 24 - Nonfree 248 kB/s | 62 kB 00:00 Error: cannot install both kernel-PAE-4.6.4-301.fc24.i686 and kernel-PAE-4.6.4-201.fc23.i686 (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)
Is it save to use the option '--allowerasing'?
4.6.4-201.fc23.i686+PAE, which would be deleted is the current running kernel. When will the delete happen? Hopefully later with the "dnf system-upgrade reboot".
Thanks in advance, Frank Elsner

How many kernel is in /boot ? Check the contents of /etc/dnf/dnf.conf. The parameter "installonly_limit" is usually 3 just to guarantee that you don't delete the running kernel.
Did you do "dnf update --refresh" before you started system upgrade?

I have a question to your request:
Do you have in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf following line:
installonly_limit=3
Did you made ``dnf upgrade --fresh`` before system-upgrade attempt?
Do you run the newest kernel on your system?
If some of the answers were no it could be a reason why you have the issue.
If you will upgrade running kernel the replacement should take place during the reboot, therefore theoretically it should be save.
On other hand any time when you perform the system-upgrade you have to consider a risk of malfunction of your upgraded system. Therefore back-up or snapshot could be handy.

Well then I would add "--allowerasing".

Let me add:
After "dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=24 --allowerasing" I still have the running kernel in /boot.
Therefore it IS save.
Thanks to all, Frank

That's because the upgrade hasn't actually been run yet. All that does is download the packages to the hard drive. I'm a little concerned that the upgrade will actually fail because the running kernel during the upgrade process will be the one that is supposed to be erased.
I wonder why there's a conflict between the kernel packages.
