I was using kernel-3.1.2-1 in fedora 16. then updated to kernel-3.1.4-1. after reboot now grub shows command prompt instead of boot menu. i tried to load manually with:
set root=(hd0,msdos3)
linux /vmlinuz-3.1.4-1.fc16.x86_64
initrd /initramfs-3.1.4-1.fc16.x86_64.img
but in the middle of booting it shows something like kernel panic and stops. I tried this with previous kernel (3.1.2-1) but it shows the same output. here is my grub.cfg:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then
load_env
fi
set default="0"
if [ "${prev_saved_entry}" ]; then
set saved_entry="${prev_saved_entry}"
save_env saved_entry
set prev_saved_entry=
save_env prev_saved_entry
set boot_once=true
fi
function savedefault {
if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then
saved_entry="${chosen}"
save_env saved_entry
fi
}
function load_video {
insmod vbe
insmod vga
insmod video_bochs
insmod video_cirrus
}
set timeout=5

Could anyone help?
[Edit] However I I tested now, I can boot windows with:
set root=(hd0, msdos1)
chainloader +1
boot

I asked this question in ask.fedoraproject.org and they told that I should use:
instead of a simple
linux /vmlinuz-3.1.4-1.fc16.x86_64
. With this option, it boots perfectly. After booting I usedgrub2-mkconfig
and now grub menu is shining. You can see the whole discussion here: ask.fedora
