Description Narek Babadjanyan 2012-01-31 18:06:53 UTC 
Description of problem:
System freezes on boot, after I change the plymouth boot screen and reboot the PC, only rotating cursor shows up.

How reproducible:
In my case 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Change plymouth boot screen (using "plymouth-set-default-theme spinfinity -R")
2.Reboot
  
Actual results:
I can see the boot screen and loading cursor, but system doesn't boot

Expected results:
Fedora must boot without any problems

Additional info:
I have tested it 3 times, after each time formatting the PC and reinstalling Fedora 16.

NOTE:This problem did not exist with my previous F16 installation, on which I used GRUB Legacy.
Comment 1 Narek Babadjanyan 2012-02-04 20:38:18 UTC 
Using grub2-mkconfig corrected the issue, and the system booted normally.
