[GRLUG] fedora won't boot

[Jordan Hudson]

I'm sure there is somebody more qualified to assist than me, but I'll try
to help. The fact that you can still use the fallback kernel is a good
sign, and I would try to update again, or probably try to roll back the
kernel to the previous one until the next update is available. If that is
not the problem then look into what else was installed in the update. This
site
http://www.techrepublic.com/article/solutionbase-steps-to-take-to-fix-linux-when-it-wont-start/has
some ideas to go off from. The fedora forums are a good place to start
as well, maybe there is an announcement. Other than that its been too long
since I've used a red hat distro, stopped distro hopping when I found arch
:)

Anyways, good luck, keep us updated.
