Because its not possible upgrade from Fedora 16 to 18, my first step was use de pre-upgrade procedure from F16 to F17. Then the first problem was a "Kernel Panic". Because, my older installation on F16 still works, the panic problem was solved by re-install the kernel-3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 using yum from F16 : (first uninstall it by rpm -e kernel-3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64) yum --releasever=17 install kernel It works! No kernel panic when select boot to kernel-3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 on Grub2 menu. Instead, I got the same problem from original bug: Bug #827997 Then try: grub2-install /dev/sda grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg having this results: Generating grub.cfg ... /usr/sbin/grub2-probe: warning: Couldn't find physical volume `pv1'. Some modules may be missing from core image.. Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64.img Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.6.11-1.fc16.x86_64 Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-3.6.11-1.fc16.x86_64.img I also try: dracut -f initramfs-3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64.img 3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 it works, and again grub-instal, grub2-mkconfig. The problem remains the same. I search for "ata_id[239]: unable to open '$devmode'" and don't find anything to solve. Created attachment 687768 [details]
