Do you have kernel-modules installed?
Oh, I am very sorry. It is all my fault, no bug here. Laura you pointed out the problem. In the /etc/dnf/dnf.conf file there was a line excluding the update of the kernel-* packets: excludepkgs = kernel-* After removing the line, the kernel and its related packages have been updated flawlessly. Thanks, and sorry again.
Thanks for letting us know
