Booting with old 3.1.4 kernel is okay.

I updated the RPM package field.

Source RPM: kernel-3.1.6 => kernel-desktop-3.1.6-0.rc1.1.mga2-1-1.mga2

You got caught by a broken dracut/bootsplash/plymouth interaction.

Make sure you got the fixed packages installed:

bootsplash-3.3.6-1.mga2
dracut-014-7.mga2
*plymouth*0.8.4-0.20111214.3.mga2

then recreate the broken initrd with:

dracut -f /boot/initrd-3.1.6-desktop-0.rc1.1.mga2.img 3.1.6-desktop-0.rc1.1.mga2

and try to boot with the new kernel again
Comment 5 Franklin Weng 2011-12-20 01:29:18 CET 
After rebuilding initrd, it works.

Thanks.
