after updating cant get into fedora
what do i do
i get this everytime i boot
Press and hold the shift key while booting to open the grub menu, then select the previous kernel to boot from. If that works then we can assist in recovery of the system with the 6.7.10 kernel.
It wold appear that something did not complete properly with installing the newer kernel.

im using the previous kernel
It’s been a while (so these steps might not be 100%), But you can try regenerating your intramfs.
- Start your system with a live usb
- Mount your actual root parition to /mnt
- Mount your actual boot parition to /mnt/boot
- sudo chroot /mnt
- dracut --force /boot/initramfs-6.7.10-200.fc35.x86_64.img 6.7.10-200.fc35.x86_64
- Exit / reboot into (hopefully) working system
Then the first step in recovery would be to first remove the newer kernel then reinstall it.
sudo dnf remove kernel*6.7.10* followed by sudo dnf upgrade kernel*. Wait 5 minutes after the new kernel is installed before rebooting to allow time for things to settle down fully.
Once that completes I would also perform sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh just to ensure that there were no other errors in that upgrade.
started back into fedora
after updating with that comand
does this below mean everything fine?
sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh
