Lost video after yum update and reboot on F16 and F17

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – 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... and screen goes blank again. Can reboot into older kernel and all works fine again. Any ideas on what is causing this? I have found other folks with same issues as far back as F12 but no solutions? I can post urls late (HowTos)

Hello,

I've installed the x64 gnome live cd on my machine (3 year old dell desktop workstation) and for few howrs all worked fine. Then I decided to update to the latest packages with"yum update" and after the update was successful done I continued to use my machine for few more hours.

black screen after kernel update 17 weeks 11 hours ago

recently I have downloaded updates for my fedora 18 x86_64 installation and one of them was a kernel update. if I try to boot new kernel from grub menu it stalls at a black screen and I have to hard reset. If I choose the older kernel boots fine. I think it is issue with proprietary drivers for nvidia but thats just speculation.

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.

Hi all; FYI, Dell e5510 laptop with I915 graphics. Updated to the latest kernel (3.0.0-15) and the onboard lcd ( eDP1) stopped working.

blank screen after BIOS 3 years 24 weeks ago

Hi!

I just updated my kernel to kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.x86_64 on my x64 system, after I reboot my machine, the Fedora loading bar comes up and finishes but then no gui comes up. I attempt to issue commands at the hanging prompt that comes up but nothing happens. I can boot into my older kernel just fine but not the updated one.

What can I do?

Kernel Panic after update 24 weeks 3 days ago

Hello everyone

I am not sure what exactly to post so if I am missing some critical info please tell me.

Since I updated to the last kernel in Fedora (yum update) the system fail to start and instead I get this Kernel panic.

I just installed Fedora 18. After a fresh install and a yum update I rebooted to new 3.7.9-205 kernel. I got to the boot menu let it default to the newly installed kernel. Afterwards instead of getting the usual login page to sign in. I got a screen full of unreadable pixels. After which the computer is pretty much frozen.

Im using Fedora 17 KDE, btw best linux distro ive ever used and ive installed over 20 of them.. good job .. anyway............
