I just updated my kernel in Fedora as it asked me in a routine pop-up.
After the update, this is what I have:
[root@redberret ~]# dnf info kernel-headers
Last metadata expiration check: 0:19:44 ago on Sun 28 Jan 2018 10:42:11 AM EST.

[root@redberret ~]# uname -r
4.13.9-300.fc27.x86_64
My system thinks I have version 4.13.9, while dnf thinks I have 4.14.14 installed.
I tried manually installing 4.14.14 via
[root@redberret ~]# dnf install kernel-4.14.14-300.fc27.x86_64

Package kernel-4.14.14-300.fc27.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
And I'm still shown 4.13.9 in $(uname -r).
In my GRUB screen, I see two options to boot from: the kernel version 4.13.9, or the rescue drive.
I googled around, and some threads suggested it was because of an old OS installation. It might be the case since I had upgraded this from Fedora 26 to Fedora 27, and that upgrade gave me some troubles.
I'm not quite sure what is going on here... Help would be really appreciated.
