The "feature" of dnf that I complained about is that it could remove
every kernel, leaving you with an unbootable system (that was said to be
the situation at the time of the earlier thread) but it doesn't sound
like a cause of your booting problems. Complete absence of a kernel
would be more noticeable than a boot not finishing.
