No, but it sounds like a kernel panic.
In my case, it was an obvious kernel panic.
AFAIS, the cause was running a Fedora 16 kernel underneath of Fedora
17. Preupgrade (rsp. yum and/or grub underneath) obviously did not
upgrade grub2.cfg to boot into the Fedora 17 kernel.
For me, rebooting into the F17 installation with the F16 kernel
underneath and then explicitly removing and reinstalling the
fc17-kernel fixed this issue:
# rpm -qa 'kernel-PAE*'
kernel-PAE-3.3.7.fc17.i386
kernel-PAE-3.3.7.fc16.i386
Hrm, for me I still have an F16 kernel that seems to be eclipsing the
F17 kernel:
Presence of an fc16 kernel should not matter and not disturb.
Did you try what I wrote?
What I did was to remove the fc17 kernel and to re-install it.This
fixed the broken grub2.cfg for me.
That is what I did. I knocked out the 3.3.7-1 kernel from both 16 and
17, then installed the 3.3.7-1 F17 kernel and booted. I haven't tried
shutting down yet but will by end of day.
mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~ $ rpm -qa kernel
kernel-3.3.7-1.fc16.x86_64
kernel-3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64
kernel-3.3.6-3.fc16.x86_64
mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~ $ uname -r
3.3.7-1.fc16.x86_64
Once you're running an fc17 kernel, you can remove all these.
My repo config must not have been reset for fc17 by preupgrade. Having
removed the fc17 kernel, yum cannot find it to (re)install--only sees
fc16 ones.
