Fedora 27 x86_64. When DNF installs a new kernel, it isn't going

the right place (/boot) and is not detected by GRUB. Why not?
For example, after installing the most recent new kernel, I see this.
[root@machine ~]# ls /boot

But RPM thinks the new kernel was installed correctly!
[root@machine ~]# rpm -V kernel-core-4.15.9-300.fc27
Sure looks like the scriptlet didn't run. I think you should get a
report about the initramfs image and the system map having different
modes and that they're ghost files (not part of the package payload as
they are created by the post-install scriptlet). I get:
[root@golem4 boot]# rpm -V kernel-core-4.15.9-300.fc27.x86_64
.M....... g /boot/System.map-4.15.9-300.fc27.x86_64
.M....... g /boot/initramfs-4.15.9-300.fc27.x86_64.img
(the "M" means different modes and the "g" means "ghost
file"). Check
your dnf logs to verify that something didn't go wrong during the
install process.
