Data Kernel can not boot after upgrade on Fedora OS 15.
Hello, everyone.
I am using Fedora 15, and want to upgrade to version 16. I follow the official link Upgrading Fedora using yum - FedoraProject to upgrade my OS by the following command:
Code:
yum update kernel* --releasever=16
yum groupupdate Base  --releasever=16
reboot

After reboot, OS can not start, and just print the following message on screen
Code:
could not start boot splash: No such file or directory

, and screen does not print other type of message.
I have installed many software on my previous OS, and I don't want to format my system partition. How to bring fedora back to life without reinstall OS ? Reinstall OS means I have to install many software and do much configuration. It's a waste of time.
