Thanks

@scottalanmiller there is nothign wrong with the 5.2 kernel. So put this last line, without the semicolon, in your /etc/dnf/dnf.conf [main] gpgcheck=1 installonly_limit=3 clean_requirements_on_remove=True ; exclude=kernel* Then remove the kernel so you can't boot to it (assuming 5.3.7): sudo dnf remove kernel*5.3.7-200.fc30.x86_64 reboot to be sure it all comes up normal. sudo reboot Then do the normal upgrade to 31. sudo su - dnf upgrade --refresh -y && dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade -y && dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=31 -y && dnf system-upgrade reboot Then you can comment that exclude out and do a normal update. sudo dnf upgrade -y --refresh And if it fails to log in still, so what. just select the 5.2 kernel again like you do now.

Hi, I found the problem also mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/dp8xvj/issues_with_the_kernel53x_series/ I don't know if the problem is known by the kernel upstream... Regarding Fedora updates, I always run it manually from the command line, so I just enter: dnf upgrade -x kernel*
