Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Kernel can not boot after upgrade on Fedora OS 15. Post 302577091 by fpmurphy on Monday 28th of November 2011 07:46:37 AM

If those where the actual commands you used to upgrade your system, I suspect that you did not follow the upgrade instructions correctly. You should have sync'ed the distro using
Code:
yum --releasever=16 --disableplugin=presto distro-sync

It looks like the grub splash file is missing. Since you upgraded from F15, you should still be using GRUB legacy, Simply use a rescue disk to edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf (or menu.lst) file and comment out the line for the splash screen.
