Could not boot new kernel kernel 3.8.10-desktop-1.mga3 , fallback to 3.8.8. Dkms modules appear to install correctly, there's "nokmsboot" in grub2 entry and initrd.img appears to be created correctly. Booting hangs after the line " Reached Graphical Interface". Currently using..... [pop@localhost ~]$ uname -r 3.8.8-desktop-3.mga3 (x86_64 x86_64 x86_64) [pop@localhost ~]$ lsb_release -a LSB Version: * Distributor ID: Mageia Description: Mageia 3 Release: 3 Codename: thornicroft [pop@localhost ~]$ ps :using only grub2, uninstalled grub-legacy.
Created attachment 3827 [details] /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Problem resolved. Later updates of proprietary graphic driver created a new dkms module for kernel 3.8.10 enabling the kernel to boot. Sorry for the noise.
