Upon upgrading from FC14 to FC16 this DL380-G4 cannot be booted from any of the FC16 kernels. Still boots successfully from the old FC14 kernel. The results when booting 3.1.0 and 3.3.2 are different. The results when booting 3.3.2-1.fc16.i686.PAE and 3.3.2-6.fc16.i686.PAE are identical.I followed the instructions on fedoraproject.org, modifying the kernel command line options to get debugging output. 3.3.2 - console output - both 3.3.2-1.fc16.i686.PAE and 3.3.2-6.fc16.i686.PAE -------------------------------------------------------------- ... [see attachment] Write protecting the kernel text: 5456k Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 2124k NX-protecting the kernel data: 4784K init[1] general protection ip:b771a419 sp:bffccc5c error:0 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill init! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At this point the system is locked up and there does not appear to be any way to retrieve any init.log file. See the attachment for a screen dump of the final bits of the console output. Because this computer is located remotely I don't have any way to access more output than that. All initramfs files for all kernels have the cciss driver, according to lsinitrd. Neverethless, the FC16 kernels fail to boot. 3.1.0 console output ----------------------------------------------------- ....[lots of output] dmesg | grep dracut >>> very many screenshots [ I have no way to save the output to a file] The last 7 screens of this dmesg output are attached. From the emergency shell, the output of dmsetup ls --tree --> No devices found blkid --> no output blkid -c udev --> no output I am not sure what the initramfs is doing, but it appears to have trouble finding the LVM/ext3 root filesystem. 2.6 Boot --------------------------------------------------- Boots normally.
