Fedora 16 fails to boot after Win7 installed a GPT Drive

Question

So, I have Windows 7 and Fedora 16 installed on my old HDD. Everything worked well and fine before I've had my new 3TB drive built in, which I initialized as GPT in Windows. Actually I initialized 1,5TB - the rest remains untouched.

After that Fedora won't boot up anymore. Instead it prompts me to maintenance mode, showing something like:

[...]/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sda[number] [...] terminated by signal 15 (Terminated)

Whenever I press Ctrl+D it shows one or multiple messages similar to that. Using

parted /dev/sdb print

shows that the drive as such is recognized as GPT. It also shows up in /etc/fstab. Using older kernels results in the same problem.

What should I do ?

Edit: I initialized the remaining ~1,5TB in Windows - nothing changed.

Answer 1

I'd try rebuilding the initial ramdisk:

/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --dracut --depmod --update `uname -r`

Failing that, I'd probably give up and update to F17, which should sort out the problem as well.
