There are some missing dependencies for dracut which cause the initramfs 
build to fail. /usr/lib64 dynamic links

libcbor.so.0.12-->libcbor.so.0.12.0

libfuse3.so.3   -->libfuse3.so.3.16.2

libnsl.so.2       -->libnsl.so.3.0.0

the old entries from an earlier version of fedora can be used if available.

workaround create a custom.cfg file in /boot/grub2 using the stanzas 
from your grub.cfg and put the kernels you want to see in it.

Sample----

#!/usr/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
     menuentry 'Fedora Linux 42 (Server Edition) (on /dev/sda4)' --class 
gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 
'osprober-gnulinux-/vmlinuz-6.13.7-200.fc41.x86_64--3a290f5c-9d01-4973-85c7-a51743da0f09' 
{
         insmod part_gpt
         insmod ext4
         set root='hd0,gpt3'
         if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
           search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,gpt3 
--hint-efi=hd0,gpt3 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt3  
61ee38e0-19db-4122-b49c-23784abe1479
         else
           search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 
61ee38e0-19db-4122-b49c-23784abe1479
         fi
         linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda4 ro rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau 
modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1 5
         initrd /initramfs
     }
