Can't boot kernel-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5

[Mel]

I didn't get a response to my last post so I must have done something 
wrong. Let me try again with a different subject.

I am trying to solve a boot problem.

What I think happened was that a series of fast AC power transients 
caused my system to attempt power recover many( don't know how many) 
times quickly.

A file somewhere is corrupt. I cannot boot into
kernel-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 without getting a panic.

I can boot into kernel-2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 with no problem.

Thanks to some help here, I removed and reinstalled 
kernel-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5.

This did not solve the problem. After reinstalling, I still get the 
panic with kernel-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 and kernel-2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 still 
boots OK.

What power recovery related file might be corrupt that would affect one 
kernel and not another but not be deleted/replaced with a remove and 
reinstall of the kernel?
