Hi All

         Just upgraded to FC7   using DVD  LXFdvd95  from Linux 
formst.  No problem   nor 209 updates of 210 that the system wanted 
to install  but  I singled out one that caused me not to be able to re-boot.

The Kernal upgrade causes a problem.  when doing the required Re-boot 
it gets to the line

Uncompressing Linux.... OK, Booting the Kernel.
_

and then hangs.


the top line is

(booting Fedora '(2.6.22.9-91.fc7)'


How can I recover from this ??   (new to linux and fedora)    I can 
reload the DVD and upgrade the 209 packages  but NOT the Kernel!  it 
reboots after the 209 packages OK.

Help required Please.


Cheers Derek
