yum? Not dnf? Sorry, I don't follow what's happening here?

Found the old fix, was akmods --force, but fails now with
akmods line 147 ulimit core file size cannot modify limit: invalid arg.
checking kmods for 4.5.7-300.fc24.x86_64 [OK]

Follow that with the reboot and I'm back at "Oh no, something has gone
wrong" screen.
