1. Please describe the problem:
Uninstalling kernel-core fails the first time, but it works the second time.


2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:

kernel-core-6.8.2-300.fc40.x86_64
dracut-060-1.fc40.x86_64
dracut-live-060-1.fc40.x86_64
dracut-network-060-1.fc40.x86_64
dracut-squash-060-1.fc40.x86_64
dracut-tools-060-1.fc40.x86_64



3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  Old kernels are available for download at
   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :

I think so.



4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:

5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
   Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
   ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:

I have no idea.



6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:

NO



7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
   for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
   issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

N/A

Reproducible: Always
