So I think something went bad in updating grub2 config...
Any hint on how to recover grub, eventually booting from a usb stick in
any way?
Already happened to anyone else with f29 to f30?
I followed on the same laptop the same procedure without problems from f26
(or f27) to f29 until this problem.
Thanks,

After reading the
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F30_bugs I see
that a problem with bios based hw (as my one, where EFI is disabled) could
impact if born with Fedora 20 or older.
In my case I seem to remember to have started with Fedora 24... but after
booting from a Slax based usb key (see
https://www.slax.org/), I see hat
indeed I had a grub.cfg.rpmsave under /boot/grub2/ (I have a separate /boot
partition)
After copying to grub.cfg and rebooting I'm now at my updated system but
with a f29 kernel 5.0.10-200.fc29.x86_64
I see installed the packages
$ rpm -qa | grep kernel | grep 30
kernel-devel-5.0.11-300.fc30.x86_64
libreport-plugin-kerneloops-2.10.0-1.fc30.x86_64
kernel-modules-extra-5.0.11-300.fc30.x86_64
abrt-addon-kerneloops-2.12.0-2.fc30.x86_64
kernel-5.0.11-300.fc30.x86_64
kernel-modules-5.0.11-300.fc30.x86_64
kernel-headers-5.0.9-300.fc30.x86_64
kernel-tools-libs-5.0.9-300.fc30.x86_64
kernel-core-5.0.11-300.fc30.x86_64
How can I configure the kernel-5.0.11-300.fc30.x86_64?
It seems that "grub2-install /dev/sda" didn't make it...
Simply reinstall kernel packages or what?
BTW: sudo dnf update gives in this moment this output

Is there anything particular to do due to grub update fail during update?
