Ok, I think I solved it. I created the entry manually for Kernel 6.8.8 on grub.cfg and rebooted. Once in this kernel, I dnf reinstalled it and everything seems to have worked fine. dnf did not show any error and I had journalctl -f on another terminal and did not see any error either. I am going to chalk this one to some difference between Kernel 6.7 and 6.8. Weird.

Hi. Since Kernel 6.8 it looks like grub.conf is not being updated. The files are installed but grub.cfg is not updated.
During installation I see this error:

If I manually add the entry to grub.cfg it appears and runs, but it is weird that grub is not updating as it used to.

sda and sdb are just old drives I have left in place, sometimes I look up info in there. sdc and sdd are my regular system.
I did not mind staying for a while in kernel 6.7.10 because I am using an old nvidia driver (470) but it seems like they solve the problem with kernel 6.8 already so I should be able to start using it normally
I tried to google-fu the answer but I found a lot of references and recipies in ubuntu, gentoo, archlinux that I am not sure if they are applicable to my case.
