No idea. It just worked. I would remove it and install it again.

Hi MPC7500,

I've removed and reinstalled the three RPM packages (kernel-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.rpm kernel-core-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.rpm kernel-modules-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.rpm) but it did not work.

I've changed /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to a different name and ran grub2-mkconfig but no new /boot/grub2/grub.cfg was created. So I've changed back the name to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and booted. On Petitboot I only see what's in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.

If I issue command "rpm -qa kernel" I get this as a response:
kernel-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le
kernel-5.8.16-200.fc32.ppc64le
kernel-5.8.17-300.fc33.ppc64le

If I issue command "rpm -qa | grep -i kernel" I get this:
kernel-modules-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le
kernel-core-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le
kernel-modules-extra-5.8.17-300.fc33.ppc64le
kernel-core-5.8.16-200.fc32.ppc64le
kernel-core-5.8.17-300.fc33.ppc64le
kernel-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le
kernel-5.8.16-200.fc32.ppc64le
kernel-srpm-macros-1.0-3.fc33.noarch
kernel-headers-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le
kernel-modules-5.8.16-200.fc32.ppc64le
libreport-plugin-kerneloops-2.14.0-12.fc33.ppc64le
kernel-5.8.17-300.fc33.ppc64le
kernel-modules-extra-5.8.16-200.fc32.ppc64le
abrt-addon-kerneloops-2.14.4-7.fc33.ppc64le
kernel-modules-5.8.17-300.fc33.ppc64le
libreport-plugin-kerneloops-2.13.1-5.fc32.ppc64le
abrt-addon-kerneloops-2.14.2-3.fc32.ppc64le
kernel-modules-extra-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le

It is really frustrating!

Hi guys,

I found the issue here (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2). The right commnad to create a new /boot/grub2/grub.cfg from the installed kernels is "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" and not just "grub2-mkconfig" as I was doing.

Thank you all.
