Hi Ed,
Does this help?
# du -k /boot

This has a lot of fc27 junk left over:
# rpm -qa kernel\* | grep fc27
kernel-core-4.16.7-200.fc27.x86_64
kernel-modules-extra-4.16.7-200.fc27.x86_64
kernel-modules-4.16.7-200.fc27.x86_64
And that got rid of 87 Meg.
Prior to freeing 87MB, was the system telling you you needed 121MB additional space?
And I still need 34 more MB
# df -kPT /boot
Filesystem Type 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/md126p1 ext4 487652 186803 271153 41% /boot
now I have
# rpm -qa kernel\*
kernel-modules-extra-4.16.8-300.fc28.x86_64
kernel-modules-4.16.9-300.fc28.x86_64

I don't get it
Let me restate.
You have plenty of space with 271MB free.
dnf seems confused. I don't know why. Maybe running dnf with -v will show more
information.
