Try to boot the previous kernel (normally an fc38 one in this case).
If it also panic, boot from a live media and chroot to the installed
system.

Then:
  - sudo dnf check
  - sudo dnf distro-sync ...

Useful page (for dnf5, but apply I think also to dnf4):

  https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/repos-seem-to-all-be-out-of-date-after-upgrading-to-43/179300/4

In this case:

    sudo dnf distro-sync \
        --refresh \
        --releasever=40 \
        --allowerasing \
        --skip-broken \
        --setopt=protected_packages=
