Apparently, `depmod [kernel version]` as root fixed the problem. Perhaps it was a transient problem.

Leaving this report open until the kernel maintainers decide it can be closed, in case more users hit it and need your workaround.

Do I understand correctly that for this kernel, the command should be

  depmod 4.19.5

Or should it be e.g.:

  depmod 4.19.5-desktop-1.mga7

[Going by the man page, adding a version is not needed, if it is the currently used one:
> If a version is provided, then that kernel version's module directory is used
> rather than the current kernel version (as returned by uname -r).]



(I still run 4.18 and might need this command myself ;-) )

If you're running the right kernel (aka the broken one), you don't need to specify the version

Seems ok for a long while. Closing.
