Okay, I made a foolish mistake a few months ago and upgraded my perfectly
running CentOS 7 to CentOS 8 and have been struggling ever since. Looking
to upgade to AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux. I have a number of things I need to
clean up on this system before attempting a upgrade.
Does anyone have any idea as to how I can clean/straighten this out:

I'm unable to update grub2/grubby:
dnf update grubby
Last metadata expiration check: 0:46:20 ago on Fri 02 Apr 2021 08:57:14 AM
CDT.
Error:
Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected
packages: kernel
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages
or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not
only best candidate packages)
..also for some reason, my kernel packages are being installed but the
system is not booting to them:
ls /boot/vmlin*
/boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-3e806a41305047db81c0e9f9b9a4e36c
/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-240.10.1.el8_3.x86_64
/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-240.15.1.el8_3.x86_64
/boot/vmlinuz-3.10.0-1127.8.2.el7.x86_64
/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64
.but it always boots to:
uname -r
3.10.0-1127.8.2.el7.x86_64
I found on the internet that this "The operations would.." Message was
because of a kernel file in a protected.d (either yum or dnf), but I checked
and it doesn't exist.
