Furthermore, if you have a corrupted libcrypt.so.1, it wouldn't matter which kernel you're booting. You wouldn't be able to boot anything. No matter which kernel you boot, you're running the same userspace, and the same set of userspace libraries. If a fundamental, key rpm like glibc is bad, you're bricked, until you fix it in rescue mode.
First, glibc was one of the things brought it. Second, I don't encrypt anything on this computer.
No, you most certainly do. Everyone who installs Fedora ends up encrypting something. I'll bet that all your passwords in /etc/shadow are encrypted, for example. Because that's the kind of things libgcrypt.so.1 is responsible for.
