I am having issues booting the newly-installed linux-libre kernel on
Libreboot, the latest testing release, for Fedora 34.

I have installed kernel-libre and kernel-libre-firmware, and I have
removed kernel and kernel-firmware.

But, new kernels will not boot. grubby is supposed to be able to change
the default kernel to boot, but it still boots in the oldest kernel (it
turns out that I haven't been getting kernel updates this whole time.)

If you need more info, please tell me how to provide it, and I will do so.

Did you install it using a repository or did you compile the kernel your self. If you compiled it yourself, you may have to run dracut. It's been while since I have used Fedora/Red Hat for my OLPC.

Solved.

Libreboot doesn't understand BLS[1] with its GRUB payload, but the new Testing release of Libreboot can boot a default installation of Fedora Workstation with its SeaBIOS option.

I got Fedora running on linux-libre! Now, I'm going to try to port Abrowser.
