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.
Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2013-11-18 16:02:38 UTC 
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?
Comment 2 Håvard Wigtil 2013-11-19 20:42:24 UTC 
Yes, the initramfs was missing. Possibly because my 500 MB /boot is beginning to be too small to hold 3 kernels at a time.
