On my F34 system, the latest Lenovo firmware updates don't seem to apply.
Reboot happens, but the firmware update process doesn't.
Is anyone else seeing this?
I don't have anything complicated — no dual boot, and I haven't messed with
anything related to booting or EFI, and this _was_ working initially. How do
I further diagnose and fix?
