I run Fedora 25 on my laptop,on a dedicated partition,other OSs on other partitions,and a strange thing happens:

On my Fedora 25 /boot/ directory I only have kernels 4.2.3 and 4.9.12 the most recent(and a rescue kernel not numbered).However Grub2 shows 3 entries for kernel 4.8.6,4.2.3,4.9.12.I tried to get rid of 4.8.6 but rpm -qi kernel or rpm -qi kernel-core only show kernels 4.2.3 and 4.9.12.The same using dnf.The kernel 4.8.6 does not appear on /boot directory nor with rpm,dnf or anything I tried.This is really a stealth kernel and I do not know where it stands,in the first place,to get rid of it.

When I choose the corresponding GRUB2 menu entry this kernel 4.8.6 shows that it is real.With uname --all it appears as the active kernel.

Now THIS is scary! I've been using Fedora since release 13-14, and I've never heard of this. I was in a state of semi-retirement regarding these mailing lists, but this has caught my attention. If I discover that this exists elsewhere? I'm gonna have to pull the plug on the three servers we have installed at work and go with something else. I'm hoping one of the developers chimes in with some guidance on this.

I was just poking some fun into the mystery.
That why I said:
 But seriously, look in /lib/modules and tell us what you see.
