I haven't quite done that, but I have something new to report.  The 
following is quoted from a post on fedoraforum.org, to avoid retyping:

I just now noticed something that might be significant: if I boot from 
either of the fc16 kernels, boot gets to:

Started Loading Random Seed

then goes back to:

Starting LSB

and this time it hands when it's trying a second time to recreate the 
Volatile Files and Directories. Also, in my current grub2.cfg, there are 
two inetrd lines for each fc16 kernel, but if I take either out by 
boot-time editing, it fails even worse.
