hi so ive ive have setup a dual boot witrh windows 11 and fedora 43 and ive been trying to update my fedora version to (i think 12-200 correct me if im wrong) and have been struggling to as i recieve an error every time after it installs it but it doesnt apply the update to my kernal and after reboot it still shows 7-200 along side windows when i installed fedora i only had a small partion to experiment with it and i evenually expanded the partion using gparted i have had to move my boot partion for fedora over a few times to expand it however.
sudo dnf reinstall kernel kernel-*

Looks like your efi partition got corrupted
is that a common problem because of having both windows and fedora? and will i need to do a clean install as i have data i would like to avoid loseing
Never happened to me on dual boot system.
Did you have power cut off an ran something like fsck?
nah i dont remember my power cutting and tbh i dont actuually know what fsck is
Can you still boot into either Windows or Fedora?
im able to boot into both
What about this?
sudo ls /boot/efi/EFI
Boot fedora Microsoft OEM UpdateCapsule
So since you can still boot into Fedora and Windows, it sounds like the EFI partition data is still there.
The error message you get…
dracut[F]: Can’t write to /boot/efi/253d517cf4e1494d80c3550b6fa6ede8/6.19.12-200.fc43.x86_64
points to this issue, where the kernel install tries to write into /boot/efi/<machine-id> when it should be writing into /boot.
Try this:
sudo mv /boot/efi/253d517cf4e1494d80c3550b6fa6ede8 /boot/efi/253d517cf4e1494d80c3550b6fa6ede8_disabled
Renaming that directory should prevent the kernel install scripts from trying to write into /boot/efi.
Then try to reinstall the problem kernel packates:
sudo dnf reinstall 'kernel*-6.19.12-200.fc43.x86_64'
udo dnf upgrade
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Nothing to do.
tthis is all i get now
even if i do --refresh it still doesnt apply ther update
`sudo dnf install ‘kernel*-6.9.12-200.fc43.x86_64’ did you do this command ?And if yes do again ls /boot/
It’s better to do reinstall than install.
install kernel* ... will bring in a bunch of kernel-related packages which aren’t part of the original install.
However, the version should be 6.19.12 not 6.9.12. That’s my error in my previous post - I’ll edit to correct that.
That’s right. dnf thinks that the kernel was successfully installed, because the rpm transaction was successful and the error didn’t happen until the post-install script.
So we need dnf reinstall rather than dnf upgrade to force the packages to be reinstalled.
