history undo' so it would also remove all dependencies then rebooted.
nothing.
anyone knows what could have caused this?
im running f16 x86_64 on an asus g74sx-bbk7(core i7-2630qm, geforce gtx560m,

Xen runs the grub2 update script to give you an option to boot the kernel
with the hypervisor. This is different from the way Fedora handles grub2
configuration when you add a kernel, as their method doesn't work with
xen. However there is a risk that you will lose configuration options if
the Fedora system hasn't set up grub2 correctly. This did happen while
Fedora 16 was in beta as grub2 overwrote a configuration file when you
updated it until they fixed it, but I am not sure if this is still a
problem.
