Problem after update

[ka1ifq]

	I have been using FC12 to compile some programs, I do not use it on a regular 
basis. I decided to let it do an update as the list of packages to update 
seemed long and long overdue.

	I got it started and left for work, in the morning I came back to a black 
screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner, the machine was not 
hung as I could login on a text console.

	I tried an update from command line  "yum update" , this produced errors and 
some type of 'fix' info, followed the directions but am back at the same 
problem, never actually does the updates and I still have a black screen with 
blinking cursor.

	What is the correct way to get this back working short of a reload (where I 
will loose all my program info)?

Thanks, Mike.
