Thanks Johnny... I did in fact use grub2-editenv 2 days ago thinking my elimination of the i915_alpha module on the 4.18.0-373 command line would permanently get rid of it. I was shocked when it seemed to come back. and I note on -- https://www.golinuxcloud.com/update-grub2-grubby-grub2-editenv-rhel-8/ that grub2-mkconfig which I find easier has some issues ... 🙁 I'll try again. Thanks.
