I'll let you know in a couple hours how the testing goes -- unless you've seen this before and have an easy fix?
Upgrading the Fedora-Minimal-31 system to 5.5.16-200.fc31.armv7hl and it's still working.
I've not seen it before but what I recommend is to go to a generic initrd so it pulls in all the drivers, move over to the new device and then allow it to go back to a host specific initrd.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1698208
I suspect there's slightly different HW requirements.
Could be. I can try that. Right now I'm upgrading the "older" system to 5.5.16, so I'll test that first, but if that fails then I can go your route and "dnf reinstall" the kernel package after adding the dracut-config-generic package.
To do this install the dracut-config-generic package and reinstall or upgrade the kernel, it'll be slower to boot, make sure it boots on the current device, move to the new one.
Once it's running on the new one remove the package and the next kernel will go back to a host specific initrd with the specific initrd for the new HW.
