Today I did the usual 'dnf update' on a VM system.
As part of the update I received kernel-6.15.4-200.fc42.x86_64
However, after the upgrades were done, the last console message was
>>> Running post-transaction scriptlet:
kernel-core-0:6.15.4-200.fc42.x86_64
after which the system was hard locked (about 45m...).
Looking at the log (I remote rsyslog to my server) I see:

This was followed with a hard reset. The boot (6.15.4) failed. So I booted to
the earlier kernel (6.15.3).
I then removed and installed the latest kernel which did NOT create a new
initramfs.
Solved by running:
$ sudo dracut -f /boot/initramfs-6.15.4-200.fc42.x86_64.img
6.15.4-200.fc42.x86_64
which proceeded to completion:

The following 6.15.4 boot succeeded (it did a root fsck).
1) Is the initial install failure a problem with the package (or dnf)?
2) Anyway, what is the 'block vda: the capability attribute has been
deprecated.' about, and how do I correct it?
3) Should the 'dnf remove/install' of the latest kernel run the
post-transaction for that package?
TIA
