Kernel Panic after upgrading to Fedora 7
I recently upgraded my Fedora Core 5 box to FC 6 and then to 7 via yum. The upgrade from 5 to 6 was relatively painless. The upgrade to 7 wasn't so nice.
When I try to boot I receive the following message: Uncompressing Linux... ok, booting the kernel Kernel panic - not syncing: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. I use grub to boot and am able to manually switch back to the FC6 kernel. Below is a copy of my grub.conf/menu.lst and fdisk results. # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora (2.6.23.15-80.fc7) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.15-80.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.23.15-80.fc7.img title Fedora Core (2.6.22.14-72.fc6) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.14-72.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.22.14-72.fc6.img /sbin/fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 251.0 GB, 251000193024 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30515 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda2 14 274 2096482+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda3 275 30515 242910832+ 83 Linux By the way, I searched this forum and found a few posts similar to mine but I didn't think they were exactly like my situation. If you think there is another post out there that answers my question, please feel free to point me to it. |

With that kind of attitude I don't think that you will get much help here.

All I am asking for is some straight forward ideas of what I can try. I know, it is a horrible attitude. Thanks for you help. Perhaps someone else here can get past my attitude and can be of assistance. |
Can anyone else offer any ideas?

Any other ideas? Below is the output of blkid - is there any more information I can provide that would help? /sbin/blkid /dev/hda3: LABEL="/1" UUID="3c033249-df03-4919-95fc-797e5a82cd00" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/hda1: LABEL="/boot1" UUID="7b273886-a0f2-44ec-b60f-b89eb6829841" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/hda2: TYPE="swap" LABEL="SWAP-hda2" |
