+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #835734 +++ Description of problem: kernel-PAE-3.4.2 crashes on boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-PAE-3.4.2-1.fc16.i686 How reproducible: very Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a running f16 system on a Mac Pro 2. Do the kernel update 3. Reboot Actual results: computer can't boot Expected results: Fedora Additional info: I also tried installing the 3.4.4 kernel and got the same result. The latest kernel I can run is 3.3.8 The machine is a stock standard 2009 Mac Pro desktop computer. Fedora runs perfectly with every kernel up to and includidng 3.3.8. Any kernel after that won't boot. --- Additional comment from slopsbucket on 2012-06-26 23:49:55 EDT --- Should have mentioned - when boot fails what's printed on the screen is a whole heap of numbers, ACPI PREPROCESSOR, some more numbers, then Kernel Panic! Then system is dead. --- Additional comment from slopsbucket on 2012-07-05 20:20:34 EDT --- No Response for this one? It's not a critical issue, the Mac runs sweet on the older kernel but the bloke who owns it did the updates and I had to go around there and edit his grub.cfg for him and I just know that that's going to happen every time another kernel comes out. Cheers, Andrew. --- Additional comment from slopsbucket on 2012-07-12 03:02:36 EDT --- Today I tried the kernel-PAE-3.4.4-4.fc16, Same result, Mac pro can't boot under any kernel newer than 3.3.8 Can you help me out here? next time this guy does an update that includes a new kernel the last kernel that works will be automatically removed. Is it possible to edit the severity of this bug because the severity has altered. Cheers, Andrew.
