I don't remember seeing anything to indicate failure at the time.
String vmlinuz
does not appear in /var/log/messages from yesterday, or in last 6 iterations of
journal. :p
Looks like my internal RAM failed. Different MBR host (fi965), newer kernel,
same errant behavior, but error messages did result:
# time rpm -ivh kernel-core-5.19.0-65.fc37.x86_64.rpm
kernel-modules-5.19.0-65.fc37.x86_64.rpm

So $SUMMARY isn't quite on target. Kernel installation with rpm only puts
an initrd in /boot/.
As before, with my manual adjusting done, 5.19 is working as expected.
