Re: Fedora 17 update Kernel not boot.

There are more and more people (not only Fedora) whom have probems with kernels 3.5.x. Me too.
I still use 3.3.4.

Re: Fedora 17 update Kernel not boot.

I post this more to ask the question rather than to state the answer.

My grub.cfg works fine with these kernels and I compared mine to yours.

Code:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
set default="0"
menuentry 'Fedora (3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64)' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
        load_video
        set gfxpayload=keep
        insmod gzio
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ext2
        set root='(hd0,msdos2)'
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 08612dde-da19-4b07-8fd7-42621ecaf54e
        echo 'Loading Fedora (3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64)'
        linux   /vmlinuz-3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64 root=UUID=7201cdd9-272c-4562-960f-e9d7d2fde4c5 ro rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0  KEYTABLE=us quiet SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8
        echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
        initrd /initramfs-3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64.img
}
I couldn't help but notice that my linux line lists the vmlinuz image as being at "root" level even though it is really under /boot i.e.

Code:
 > ls /boot/vmlinuz*
/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64
/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64
/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.2-1.fc17.x86_64
Yet in the grub.cfg line it doesn't show up that way and everything works fine.

Also - FWIW - I don't ever run grub2-mkconfig - all that happens automagically for me as part of update.

I wonder if some path issue got introduced in some way? And really same observation for the initrd/inframfs.

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...ot-loader.html


Fedora 17 is distributed with GRUB 2, which reads its configuration from the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file. This file is generated by the grub2-mkconfig utility based on Linux kernels located in the /boot directory, template files located in /etc/grub.d/, and custom settings in the /etc/default/grub file and is automatically updated each time you install a new kernel from an RPM package. To update this configuration file manually, type the following at a shell prompt as root:


Each menuentry block that represents an installed Linux kernel contains linux and initrd directives followed by the path to the kernel and the initramfs image respectively. If a separate /boot partition was created, the paths to the kernel and the initramfs image are relative to /boot. In the example above, the initrd /initramfs-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64.img line means that the initramfs image is actually located at /boot/initramfs-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64.img when the root file system is mounted, and likewise for the kernel path.

Re: Fedora 17 update Kernel not boot.

Just to clarify:
  1. Grub with assume the root device as the boot partition, not Linux's root partition.
  2. In order to see what is going on with the boot process you will have to edit your grub kernel command line: at the main grub screen, select your entry, then press the 'e' key, move down to the line
    Code:
    linux /boot/vmlinuz-[version] root=[UUID]
    And delete the keywords quiet and rhgb, these will result in a very verbose boot process, check where it stalls.

That's strange... I wonder if you could blacklist the VESA driver which seems to be conflicting with the radeondrm driver. I don't exactly recall the kernel command line to do this for that particular diver, but you could search the nVidia driver thread and get an idea, as it would be very much alike the one to disable Nouveau, With a different driver name of course, something like vesavga or the like.
