I'm a little puzzled that there are 2 initrd files for that date. It
might be important that Oct. 20 is the day I first did a weekly "dnf
upgrade", and then upgraded from f35 to f36. Is the 11:19 the one I
should back up, or should I back up both Oct. 20 files?
I'm now shutting down for the night. I'll try booting up with the 5.19
kernel (as you suggested) in the morning when I power up the workstation.
thanks,
Bill.
