Hi,
Just applied the updates to my F-9 box and now it won't boot. It just
prints "GRUB " and that's all.

try booting from the rescue disk and do grub-install /dev/sdX (where
sdX = the harddisk where your mbr is)
(note: sdX = sda / sdb etc NOT sda1 ... )

Yeah, I got it working again. I just wonder what is going wrong with kernel
updates. This is the second time its happened to me and wanted to see if this
is happening to others. Just imagine if this was a machine in a data center
far away...
Thanks,

It happens from time to time to more people. The problem is, nobody found
why.
Happened to me too, on my work computer. Is there a bugzilla tracking
this issue?

I wonder if this is possibly related to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448343
I have seen that recently on a machine which was upgraded from F7 to
F9. A reboot brought 'GRUB> ' prompt and that was it.
Luckily enough this was an i386 installation and getting
grub "manually" to boot was easy. After that it was possible
to install grub once again and further booting was not an issue.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246830
shows troubles one would get into if that would be an x86_64 setup.

Do the machines where this happens have anything in common?
What arch? Multiple hard-disk drives?
Installing a new kernel pkg runs grubby, which in turn reinstalls
GRUB instead of simply modifying grub.conf. What could go wrong but
not always? It's also interesting that GRUB seems to lock up instead
of printing any of its stage-file-loading related error numbers.

i386 with a single drive in the case I have seen that myself.
So this would be, apparently, the simplest possible configuration.
Installing a new kernel pkg runs grubby, which in turn reinstalls
GRUB instead of simply modifying grub.conf.
Maybe it should not? In a case of multiple disks when grubby
"scribbles" over a wrong disk then most likely everything is fine
because an old boot sector remains intact.
