I recently upgraded F16->F17 using preupgrade. I booted into F17 and everything seemed to work until I tried rebooting, whereupon I got a Kernel panic with a lot of stuff about missing files (mdadm, sh, cat, ...) and a panic backtrace. This was completely reproducible.
I then noticed that the running kernel was still kernel-3.3.7-1.fc16.x86_64, despite the fact that kernel-3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64 had been installed by preupgrade, i.e. grub.cfg had not been changed to reflect the new kernel. I updated to F17 3.4 from updates-testing and the problem appears to have gone away, i.e. grub is now correct. So it looks like the issue was that grub.cfg should have been changed during the preupgrade, but wasn't. Has anyone else seen this? On a related note: how does one capture the console output when a panic like this occurs? It isn't in any log files (maybe by this time there isn't a filesystem) and it's a chore to have to copy it all by hand, which is why I haven't bothered in this case. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
