Description Jason Montleon 2011-10-15 18:48:30 UTC

Description of problem:
kernel 3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.1.fc16.x86_64 does not boot on an original MacBook Air.

I removed rhgb and quiet from the boot options and still all I get are the echo lines from the grub.cfg:
Loading Fedora (kernel 3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.0.fc16.x86_64)
Loading initial ramdisk ...

Usually the system proceeds very quickly past this, but with rc9.git0.0 it seems to just hang forever.

I tried acpi=off and noacpi and no change.

I also tried creating a new intramfs with dracut to no effect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel 3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.0.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora on a Macbook Air (Original)
2. Update to kernel 3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.0.fc16.x86_64
3. Reboot
  
Actual results:
System does not boot

Expected results:
System boots

Additional info:
kernel 3.1.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc16.x86_64 and prior boot just fine

Comment 1 Jason Montleon 2011-10-17 00:33:01 UTC

Closing this. It looks like the initrd line was left off when the kernel was adding to the grub2 config. I ran grub2-efi-mkconfig manually and the configuration was generated properly, and the system now boots properly with this kernel.

Thank you.
