Created attachment 840406 [details] Photo of laptop screen after kernel panic Description of problem: When attempting to boot with the latest f19 kernel, I get a kernel panic before I should be prompted for the password for my encrypted root partition. Booting to the following kernels still works: kernel-3.11.10-200.fc19.x86_64 kernel-3.11.9-200.fc19.x86_64 kernel-3.11.8-200.fc19.x86_64 kernel-3.11.7-200.fc19.x86_64 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.12.5-200.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot 2. select 3.12.5 kernel Actual results: kernel panic (See attached photo) Expected results: prompt for password to encrypted root partition Additional info: If there is something else that I can do to collect more information, please let me know.
The kernel can't find the rootfs. You are most likely either missing a corresponding initramfs file in /boot, or the grub configuration file is missing the initrd line that laods it. Please check those two things.
I had to both create the initramfs file and add the initrd line to grub.cfg. Everything is now booting fine. When I couldn't boot to the new kernel after yum updating, I booted to an older kernel to search /v/l/yum.log and /v/l/messages for errors but I didn't find anything. Shouldn't there be an error message somewhere?

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
