So, Eike thinks he got an fc17 kernel, but that's not what it sounds like to me. I've just verified a couple of things... 1) It's quite easy to do a 16->17 upgrade and not get a 17 kernel, because the 16 kernel is being kept very up to date; it's been the case quite a few times that the latest 16 kernel is 'newer' than the latest 17 kernel. 2) If you boot 17 with a kernel that was installed when the system was running 16, you will not be able to shut down properly, because the initramfs is pre-/usrmove. So booting a 16 kernel on 17 is problematic. I think this is the case Eike ran into. I'm filing a bug against anaconda to highlight this little problem and see if anything can be done to improve the situation. I'll close this as a dupe when it's done. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Aye, I'm fairly certain the boot menu string referenced F17 because I was paying special attention due to bug 815473, but I can't speak to whether the kernel line pointed to the right file. Since we can't seem to come up with another explanation for the symptoms I'm on board with your plans, though. it may have just said 'Fedora Linux'. that's what shiny new grub2 does, that's what I see on my 'updated 16 -> 17 Beta DVD' upgrade test. but if you look at it in more detail, what it boots is an fc16 kernel. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 820351 *** |
