The notes I found say to create a file in /etc/modprobe.d
And say call it anything but something like enable_amdgpu_disable_radeon.conf and put this in it: options amdgpu si_support=1 options amdgpu cik_support=1 options radeon si_support=0 options radeon cik_support=0
and then do a "dracut --force" and reboot.
Make sure there is not a new kernel, as the dracut will built the current booted kernel and not the new/other kernels. So make sure you boot back into the same kernel.
adding --regenerate-all on the dracut command line will cause it to rebuild all kernel initramfs, I would not do that until you determine this one works better than the prior one.
si/cik are AMD/ATI graphics cards, The SI and CIK families can use either driver, default enable is radeon, disable on amdgpu.
I have not rebooted my machine that is using the radeon driver yet (it is a main server so it does not get booted often), so I don't know if that is all that is needed for it to work.

and see if the card reports amdgpu could also work for the card. I am going to guess amdgpu can be used, my 2010 vintage FM2 amd can apparently use either driver also.
So how do I switch to the amdgpu driver?

What kind of video card/builtin do you have? (lspci | grep -i vga)
Only really old amd/ati cards use the radeon driver. The newer cards use amdgpu. And your dmesg lists your bios as being a 2020 bios release and that would indicate the hardware you are using is new so makes me wonder why you have a radeon driver in use.

Samuel,
Well thanks. It is NOT the kernel as I am still locking up. But it is something else related to that update, as I did not get these lockups before. I have updated the bug report and sent a number of related selinux error details and messages
My video is radeon. That is showing in the error messages in /var/log/messages I included in the bug report.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2101629 has:ring test failures.
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E50245_01/E63729/html/vmrns-radeon-ring-test-fail... gives::
Workaround: Ensure that the radeon module is loaded with the modeset parameter set to zero. To do this, add the following line in /etc/modprobe.conf:
options radeon modeset=0
This does not change anything. I crashed and rebooted with this line in modprobe.conf.
Got into firefox and cnn and lock.
Restarted.
Had nothing really running (no thunderbirds) got firefox going. lock.
I looked to see if chrome is available to try it, but don't see it in the repo.
Any other browser?
Of course it should not be the browser, as all that is happening is some function is being called that crashes the radeon driver.
Hopefully this gets solved soon. I can't go to a number of web sites like in the past without the lockups.
It could be a hardware failure. Laptops over 5 years old are not to be trusted.
Sigh.
