Errors displayed on screen

Upon updating system (dnf) which included the new kernel, there was an error and upon attempting to reboot afterwards, the system will now not boot up into Linux. It goes into emergency mode and states to copy run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt into a bug report, however that file doesn't exist in that subdirectory when I checked it after booting using the Linux-rescue entry on the boot menu.

Erasing     : kernel-core-4.7.3-200.fc24.x86_64                        97/102 
warning: file /lib/modules/4.7.3-200.fc24.x86_64/kernel/net/dns_resolver/dns_resolver.ko.xz: remove failed: No such file or directory

The installed kernels show 4.7.6, 4.7.5 and 4.7.4 on the Grub menu, in addition to the rescue entry, it would not boot into 4.7.6 or 4.7.5, did not try it using 4.7.4.

I am attaching photos of the screen when the system crashed.

Reinstalled Fedora from image, system seems to be running fine now.
