output of dmesg when booting with kernel 3.0
Matthew, any ideas? I'll try to reproduce on Monday. After I looked at it again today this is not kernel related at all. The problem seems to be grubby not creating a proper initrd entry for the new kernel in grub.conf. Argh. How could I have missed _that_?

Argh. How could I have missed _that_? Thanks for letting us know. If you have logs that show errors from grubby, you might want to open a bug against it or probably dracut. The missing initrd entry is probably bug 725185 |
Created attachment 520174 [details] output of lshw Description of problem: After installing F16's last kernel update my system no longer boots. Instead, the following is shown on screen: Trying to allocate 1059 pages for VMLINUZ Got pages at 0xd59d5000 [Linux-EFI, setup=0x10cc, size=0x422db0 _ From this point on nothing happens anymore, while the caps lock LED is blinking. The value for setup varies if booted with different kernel parameters. The system is a Thinkpad X220 (exakt model: 4290W1B, see attached lshw output) with BIOS compatibility module disabled. Fedora is installed on a GPT disk with EFI system partition and gets started from Grub legacy. Pretty much the standard Anaconda recommendation for UEFI systems. With the 3.0 kernel from the initial installation the system starts fine. Naturally, there are no syslog entries from the failed boot attempts with the 3.1 kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q kernel kernel-3.0.1-3.fc16.x86_64 kernel-3.1.0-0.rc3.git0.0.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: 100 % Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 3.1 kernel from updates-testing repo 2. Reboot system 3. Actual results: System hangs after hitting enter in Grub Expected results: System comes up like with previous 3.0 kernel Additional info: Output from lshw dmesg output from successfull boot
