I think you misunderstood the bug. Your machine has already been upgraded to F16. It just boots the wrong kernel. To verify this, you can check with the following: $ cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 16 (Verne) $ rpm -qa kernel* should list the last 2 F14 kernels and the latest F16 kernel (assuming your installonly limit is set to the default value of 3). But when you do: $ uname -r You should see the F14 kernel. The fix for you is simply fix your grub.conf by hand and possibly regenerate your initramfs like this: # dracut -f /boot/initramfs-<F16-kernel-ver>.img <F16-kernel-ver> I am not sure about this last part, it might be unnecessary. I can't recall what I had to do and why (I was fooling around with the boot splash, and this was when F16 was in beta a month back). -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
