Hello Fedora Users list!
I sent this recently to our local LUG list, but no
one was able to help. I looked to see if this has been talked
about and as far as I know, it hasn't (outside of something
similar with Fedora 15, but it seemed the solution there was
incomplete).
I have 3 kernels installed on my Fedora 16 laptop
-- kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16.i686, kernel-3.2.5-3.fc16.i686
and kernel-3.2.6-3.fc16.i686. When I try to boot 3.2.5-3 or
3.2.6-3, I get a kernel panic message with the message
"initramfs unpacking failed uncompression error" followed by
"not syncing, no init found". Both of these were installed via
normal yum updating; nothing out of the ordinary for them.
In the beginning, booting into the oldest one,
3.2.2-1 has no problems, fortunately. Haven't seen anything
helpful mentioned on the Interwebz about such an error, was
wondering if anyone had seen something similar. Just to be sure,
I removed the 2 newer kernels and then did a "yum install
kernel" to see if something was corrupted the first time, but
I'm still getting the same results.
The last time I reboot, *all* of the kernels would
give the error message. I was able to first boot into
single-user and then, when exiting, it boot properly. I just
installed the latest kernel update and (3.2.7.x) and getting the
same thing.
Thanks!
Brian
