I don't know. The original install was done 10+ years ago. Not
knowing any better, I very probably just accepted the defaults. Much of what you suggest
here is over my head.

There is only one hard drive.
Removing the oldest kernel (dnf remove kernel-core...) looks to have
solved the problem, at least for a while. But thank-you for trying to help.
For now you should be fine with that config reduction to 2 kernels, but in the
long run, it may be best to gain some understanding of what you have, so better to
avoid more unexpected trouble as the system further evolves.
Output from:
cat /etc/fstab
parted -l and/or fdisk -l
lsblk -f
would enable us to understand your configuration and enable recommendations to be
made if indicated, before you get caught in an inextricable bind.
