    Blank Screen Fedora 16 only after rebooting from Linux

    I use grub2 loader for both windows 7 and Fedora 16. The problem is that I get blank screen only after I reboot from Linux. If I shut down and start again the computer, the grub menu shows up. If I reboot from windows, the menu is displayed as usual. Is it a bug? I have searched all over the internet and didn't find exactly this issue. Why blank screen only upon rebooting from Linux? I use dual boot on acer aspire D257 notebook.

    have you made any changes to the /etc/fstab file?

    The following solved my problem:
    Code:
    $ sudo nano /etc/default/grub


change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=””  to  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”reboot=efi”

Press Ctrl-O to save and then Ctrl-X to exit

then 

$ sudo update-grub

After this, don't reboot the machine. Power it off, then power on and enjoy :)
