 Eventually I found https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/186amfb/kernels_6510_does_not_install_properly_in_fedora/ and https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f39-kernels-fail-to-install-when-boot-efi-machineid-is-present/96086 which apparently was a fedora 39 problem when upgrading since forever. The solution was:
   # mv "/boot/efi/$(cat /etc/machine-id)" "/boot/efi/$(cat /etc/machine-id)_disabled"
+I deleted the _disabled folder later to get back some disk storage. Seemed to boot fine, but it was the rescue stuff that was taking disk space.

+Calculate sha256 of all files in folder and store in text file that can be used to check for bit rot later or when replacing disk and checking rsync:
+  $ find movies/ -type f -exec sha256sum {} \; >checksum.txt; sort -k2 -o checksum.txt checksum.txt
+  or
+  $ find movies/ -type f | sort | xargs -d'\n' sha256sum >checksum.txt
+File checksum mismatch after copying files to a new disk can be due to memory issues. It can even vary checksumming the same file on the same disk. You can use "memtester" live in linux or reboot into memtest in the grub menu. In my case one of the two pairs/kits were faulty I eventually found out after removing/swapping pairs.

 You may need the "--allowerasing" flag or possibly force uninstall of some packages using "rpm -e --nodeps <package>" to get this to pass.

   - Had to upgrade to squeezeboxserver 7.9.3 and build tbs with workarounds for kernel 5.7. Later I replaced tbs with a hauppauge dongle.
   - New samba 4.11 disables smbv1 by default which does not work with my tablet used as a photo frame. See samba section above for how to fix.

+  - Autologin had to be reconfigured in /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf for fedora 37 AND fedora 40. Just add back the autologin line, see the .rpmsave file.
   - Maybe clean up old unmaintained packages using "remove-retired-packages 36" or similar. You may also use "dnf repoquery --unsatisfied" and "dnf repoquery --duplicates" to check for broken/duplicates. See fedora upgrade docs for more info.
