sorry, the bug report was sent before i filled it.


Description of problem:
after selecting the kernel to boot in grub2, if i select the 1st or 2nd option, the screen swithes on/off about 3 times per second; if i select the 3rd option, the computer boots normally, regardless of what kernel 1st, 2nd and 3rd option refers to (i.e. after the update i was only able to boot the 3rd (last) option again).


How reproducible: unknown


Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot the computer using different kernels and initramfs

Additional info: i tried to change the initrdefi/ initramfs... line (i used the 3rd initramfs) and the problem disappears; however there is a missing sysroot dependecy due to the fact i used the wrong initramfs, i suppose.
