After install of F16 all was well but ran a yum update and rebooted to the newer (3.4.xxx x86_64) kernel and screen goes blank after grub menu. Could choose the original F16 (3.1.xxx_x86_64) kernel at grub and it would boot fine.
I decided to give F17 a try...
After a clean F17 installation all is working fine... Then run yum update and reboot into latest kernel...
I've installed Fedora 18 two weeks ago on my laptop (a Lenovo G580). The installation went smooth, but as soon as I did a yum update and rebooted, I got a black screen almost immediately (about 2 seconds) after selecting the new kernel from the grub menu.
How do I update the kernel from the GRUB menu, because I cannot log in due to the black screen after restart? Currently I cannot connect to the internet, and if you have that information that would be helpful because my LAN cable doesn't seem to work.
Ok, how do I update the kernel from the GRUB or fix my black screen before restart issue?
Today I updated my 13.04. There is new Kernel 3.8.0.13.27. I ran update through "Software Updater", the update went fine and I had to restart my machine.
After restart Ubuntu booted to a black screen. I could hear the login-ready sound, after waiting for some more time I restarted again.
You cannot run kmod-nvidia with a non-CentOS kernel. You will need to download the proprietary binary drivers from nVidia and install those and then reinstall them every time you update your kernel. [by TrevorH]
This is really starting to p*** me off. What the hell is the difference between the 3.0 and 3.2 kernel? It's obviously something quite important. I can not get Ubuntu 12.04 or Fedora 16 to boot. And I can only put it down to being something to do with the kernel used in 12.04.
In both Ubuntu and Fedora, I get the boot menu.
Whenever Update mgr updates the kernel, on reboot I get the following error for the new kernel.
Bad or missing file.
Using grub, select the previous kernel. Boots fine, even though I would have gotten the same error after that kernel update. I always have to use grub to select the last kernel.
Im using Fedora 17 KDE, btw best linux distro ive ever used and ive installed over 20 of them.. good job .. anyway............
I did a 'yum update' and it installed a new kernel (version 3.4.2-x86_64) along with a bunch of other updates.
