Created attachment 534026 [details] Photo of the kernel panic Description of problem: Kernel panic at boot (see attached “screenshot”) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Not sure which prequisites are needed, seems not to be common 2. Install kernel 3.1.1-1 3. Reboot with kernel 3.1.1-1 Actual results: Kernel panic after loading initramfs Expected results: Booting fedora Additional info: Not sure what further debug info I can supply. Give me a hint, I'll provide any data needed!
Currently on kernel 3.1.0-7 by the way (last kernel which was installed before 3.1.1-1), which works fine.
Created attachment 534031 [details] grub config Can it be a problem with the grub config tool? Attached grub.cfg, seems to be missing the initrd entry for the 3.1.1 boot entry.

The initramfs is generated after that, and grubby should have added a line there for it.
I less'd messages and yum.log, I was able to find the messages which relate to installing kernel-3.1.1-1, but there are no errors around it.
Please try to reproduce the problem. Uninstall the latest kernel, verify that grub.cfg contains valid entries for 3.1.0-7, run 'yum update' and see if you get the same problem or any error messages.
I was not able to reproduce. When installing kernel-3.1.1-2, grubby did what it's supposed to do. I was able to boot fine.
Please reopen or file a new bug report if you see it again.
