I tried upgrading with Fedup, but selecting in grub the 'System Upgrade (fedup)' entry, the same boot problem occurs.

Comment 1 Herald van der Breggen 2013-07-06 17:56:13 UTC
I have been able to upgrade from fc17 to fc19 using fedup. After doing again a "yum update" and "fedup-cli --network 19" I was able to run to installer.

However, I still have problems running the 3.9 kernels (both the fc19 and the fc17 version). I don't see the kernel panic anymore, instead the boot process stops when the logo is shown (so before starting the graphical mode). Then nothing happens. I guess I need to create a new bug report for that, related to Fedora 19. I'll do that later.

Currently I run 3.8 kernel from fc17 on Fedora 19. That works.

It crossed my mind that kernel 3.9 has some new SSD related updates and this laptop has SSD.

Comment 2 Herald van der Breggen 2013-07-06 20:12:18 UTC
created bug report 981898, related to Fedora 19.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-08-01 02:30:35 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
