There are plenty of possibilities, but this could mean that the video driver did not start. Try hitting CTRL-ALT-F3. If that produces a text console with a login prompt, then this is your problem.
In particular, if you had been using the nvidia proprietary drivers, you will need to install it again for your new kernel.

thanks a lot. CTRL-ALT-F3 did bring the login prompt. i have been using nvidia proprietary drivers so i guess this was the problem.how should i proceed from here? yum install ???thanks again,monty

AIUI, if you want to use the binary blob, follow the same instructions you did the first time. If you want to use kmod, use this:
yum install kmod-nvidia
(You may need to specify PAE or x64 depending on the kernel you're using.)

I'm having the same problem. I'm using the proprietary nvidia drivers.
Ctrl-Alt-F3 does NOT produce a command prompt.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
