it seems that initrd for tmy kernel is missing and also tryin' to
manually boot from the grub menu let the system fail.
My impression is that the whole fedora installation tool failed and
I've a partial system but I can' t find more on this. I' m quite
ready to give up and try to install a different flavor of linux.
Re-install, Fedora or otherwise, might be the quick fix. But I don't
see that initrd is missing. My current top level for boot is:
ls -1 /boot
