Thanks Kevin, and sorry...I should've had that at the ready.

I'm assuming you want the entirety of /etc/grub2.cfg? If not, I apologize for the length....

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

Brian,

What does your grub or grub2 config file look like?

So 3.2.2 isn't booting now either (at least, not until single-user mode and then exit)?  Have you tried updating dracut and then rebuilding your initramfs with dracut -f?
