Description of problem: Upgrade from F16 to F17 Unable to restart or shut down. Caps lock key indicator flashing and freezing at end of shutdown scripts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every shutdown since upgrade Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select Log Off 2.Select shutdown / restart 3. Actual results: Shuts as normal but then caps lock indicator starts to flash and system freezes requires forced shutdown. Expected results: Shuts down or restarts as requested Additional info:
There was a common bug where upgrades from f16 would boot the f16 kernel. That had a mismatch in the initramfs from what the f17 userspace was expecting, which would result in a kernel panic. Booting an f17 kernel should work just fine. I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of that bug based on the little information we have here. If you are still seeing this with one of the 3.4.x F17 kernel updates, please reopen. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 820351 ***
