Well they did say once: Don't change horses in mid stream.
This may be why. :)

Huuurrray....... after a month of effort and several fails along the way the machine has completed a w/u and the system says its "Outcome Success".................. all-tho the stderr_txt seems to say Segment violation??. Or was that from a previous w/u that failed. It did make it to 100% before completing.

So it would seem that fedora 30 does work with the addition of a couple of libs.
And its not wise to do a kernel update before the w/u completion.
Oh, and if restarting then make sure the slots are ok.

Hopefully the 2 remaining w/u will also play the game.

Congratulations nairb. It was quite the process to get there but hopefully things will go much smoother from now on.

For those who might be trying fedora 30.... I have finally got round to doing a minimal fedora 30 install. I usually go for the kde-plasma desktop gui. We all know how resource hungry some fedora spins can be. But its nice to have some of the gui tools. I checked my 80gig disk only to find its getting bit short of space with climate/einstein etc installed.

So it was time to get back to basics. A min install + admin tools. And all you get is a command line. I use tigervnc & run boinc thru an xterm. All very simple ..... like it used to be. It now all fits in the corner of a 60gig disk.

I was in a hurry so upgraded to Groovy without waiting for running tasks to finish and all six survived, (two now completed successfully. :)
