I'm guessing you are either missing an initramfs file for this kernel in /boot, or the grub configuration file is missing the "initrd" line for it. Can you verify you have a corresponding initramfs-3.11.7-200.x86_64.img file in /boot and that it's listed in the grub configuration file? Yes, the initramfs was missing. Possibly because my 500 MB /boot is beginning to be too small to hold 3 kernels at a time. |
Created attachment 824891 [details] Photo of last kernel messages Description of problem: My Thinkpad W520 crashes on startup after upgrading to the latest F18 kernel Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.11.7-100.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Additional info: The caps lock light is blinking after the crash. I get a lot of output when the kernel crashes. I've added a photo of the visible messages, I'll add the complete set of messages if someone can point me to some documentation on how to do this.
