I am having trouble with the installing of the new kernel release about 2 days ago. When I install it and reboot my system it stops at the Fedora sign in the middle of the screen. It is hard for me to explain exactly what is happening because I am not good with the technical terms used.

Immediately before Fedora boots, you should see a countdown of a few seconds. Hit ESC or some key and you will see a menu. - This is a menu of kernels installed. On the trouble kernel, hit the 'E' key to EDIT the current kernel options.
Scroll to the right of the 'kernel' line. Remove the following 2 words: quiet rhgb After you remove those words, hit ENTER, then B (to boot).
This should provide some information as to what is happening when the system locks up. What error or messages do you see when it stops.
Alternatively in the menu you can select your previous kernel to boot so you can access your system.

When you report issues like this please state the kernel version you are using. New kernels come out pretty often and even if we new which Fedora release you are using, we wouldn't be sure which kernel version you are using.

I have seen this, if memory serves correct while it's doing this you can press F7 or F8 (I can't remember which) and it shows text instead of an image. It could have trouble starting a service or running chkdsk. Do this and say where it is stuck.

What are you using for a Video Card. The problem could be when you updated your kernel your video drivers did not get updated. The proper kernel mod for your kernel must be installed as well as the driver

Next time you boot, hold down Ctrl at the bios screen -- it will let you select which kernel version to boot.
Most likely, the kernel version you can't boot is 2.6.32.10-90 -- I'm having problems with it as well. Specifically, on 2 Dell laptops, one using nvidia driver, another one using open source radeon driver.

Press Esc (Escape) for console messages. Also, chkdsk is a Windows utility. I presume you mean fsck.

Press the ESC key to see any messages. Maybe https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=578217 applies to you.

What are you using for a Video Card. The problem could be when you updated your kernel your video drivers did not get updated.
You have that backwards, the video drivers did get updated and the ones in the kernel are... I can't find a polite term, let's just say not functional on many display systems. While you can use the vendor drivers in some cases, the quick way to see if this is the problem is to add "nomodeset video=vesafb" to the end of the boot commands after "quiet." That should make almost anything boot if video is the issue.
The proper kernel mod for your kernel must be installed as well as the driver
If you are a gamer, have multiple displays, or have some need for 3D other than because wobbling windows a "kewl," go to it. It is not a requirement for normal operation.

If all of the things other friends have guided to you don't work, please just try to login to Run level 1. If/Once you are at the prompt that asks you to login. The issue is caught, login the system using ROOT credentials and check for GDM installation. # rpm -q gdm
if this command does not return any thing, please install GDM, it happened with me so considering same with you too.
