Packages installed cleanly, after reboot, everything seems to work. Paid particular attention to wifi with Firefox. No issues noted, but then I wasn't seeing any with the older kernels, either.

Installed the desktop kernel and other new packages, manually, because MageiaUpdate came up blank after 'urpmi.update -a'.
Rebooted to Mate.  The kernel had not been listed by grub2 and the default turned out to be the same as before, 5.6.6.
Ran 'drakboot --boot' to rebuild initrd.

Reboot; back in business.

$ uname -r
5.6.8-desktop-1.mga7 

Intel Core i9-7900X, x86_64, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, nvidia 430.64 

Desktop running fine.  Passed a series of stress tests.

MGA7-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50
No installation issues.
Running desktop version now, cann't see anything wrong with it.
Note:
The issue with grub that Len reports in Comment 7 is already an old issue. Grub seems to choke somehow when the number of choices gets too large (around 15 or so). I regularly have to delete old kernels on this laptop because I am running a test partition for M7, a real work partition idem and a MS Win.
In MCC removing old kernels and then re-instate the startup usually mends the situation.
I think I logged a bug for that, but it is a while ago ....

@Herman, re comment 8.
Thanks for pointing that out.  I do normally purge older kernels when there are four or more installed but not all my partitions get enough attention so the number builds up.  I have a gui application to help with deleting kernels and associated packages - just click and go and run drakboot or dracut afterwards, which could be automated as well.

Using the testing rpm installed the desktop files and rebooted without issues.
