Subject: Re: Last weeks F17 updates and problems with booting
Tried it and felt I was getting close. But then I hit other issues
trying to get things back.
Downloaded the DVD ISO to reinstall from fedora project and that
failed. Got pushed into dracut (?). Not sure why that image doesn't
work for me.
So then I went live cd and that worked. I installed from there. And
currently resorting the backup of my home dir.
So I basically gave up and reinstalled. Wasted several days. Very
disappointed.
Thanks for you help guys. The effort was much appreciated.

I almost went the same path except my problem was in the ACPI code. An
update had the nasty side effect of turning the CPU fan on full speed
all the time. About a week before I was going to have an opportunity to
re-image and switch to a different OS another update fixed the issue.
Fedora is awesome when it works but when it gets broken it can be really
difficult to fix...
