</div>OK, so the f15 kernel never got installed. That would bring into<br>
question a whole raft of other potential problems that you will probably<br>
need to clean uop from as well....<br>

What is the contents of your current /etc/grub.conf file?<br>
What and where are the f15 kernel files?<br>
(you are looking for at least a vmlinuz- file and possibly<br>
an initramfs- file and possibly a System.map- file as well)<br>
<br>
I have the following on my botched f15 upgrade:<br>
<br>
/boot<br>
config-2.6.35.12-90.fc14.i686 efi<br>
initramfs-2.6.35.12-90.fc14.i686.img initrd-plymouth.img<br>
System.map-2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686 vmlinuz-2.6.35.12-90.fc14.i686<br>
config-2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686 elf-memtest86+-4.10<br>
initramfs-2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686.img memtest86+-4.10<br>
System.map-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686 vmlinuz-2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686<br>
config-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686 grub<br>
initramfs-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686.img System.map-2.6.35.12-90.fc14.i686<br>
upgrade vmlinuz-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686<br>
<br>
and my grub.conf contains this entry for f15 (which boots for me):<br>
<br>
title Fedora (2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686)<br>
root (hd0,0)<br>
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686 ro<br>
root=UUID=f3299b81-9fc4-46eb-9189-a79591e894a1 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM<br>
rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM vga=0x123 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16<br>
KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us noiswmd<br>
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686.img<br>
<br>
You will need to change the UUID to match your disk, and whether or not<br>
you need all of the boot options that I have, you can compare to your<br>
f14 kernel entries in your grub.conf file. All of the options on my f15<br>
kernel line appear verbatim on my f14 kernel lines. And my test system<br>
is currently booted in f15 (or some subset of it. B^)<br>
