Situation: F14 -> F16 update via preupgrade. All files are downloaded and the grubmenu is changed to include the upgrade temp kernel.
Problem1:
Booting the upgrade kernel will just provide you a black screen with a blinking cursor.
The grub menu.lst:
Please note that I can start the unupgraded system just fine with the second menu section so the boot section is existing. Please note that /dev/sda2 contains the boot partition for /boot
Following the advice in method2 in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_t...ll_upon_reboot I proceed with making a new entry in the grub manu.lst
Which did exactly the same: blinking cursor
Problem2:
Method 1 was to use the grub cmdline, which I used as follows:
After the initrd command the pc froze, no output was given.
Since the symptoms of problem 1 and 2 differ, so could it be 2 different problems?
Can anyone make a suggestion to hep with any of those 2 problems?
