Issues after preupgrade F13-F14

I upgraded my netbook from Fedora 13 to 14 using preupgrade.
The update was not smooth and I am still working through
problems (started Christmas week).

I have the following problems and am working through them.

1) No check up front on disk space, update started then after
    a few minutes mentioned insufficient space in /boot
    (yes, I had only 100M).  The preupgrade did continue
    after I checked the dialog box.

2) preupgrade checked for packages then started the upgrade.
    About 1/2 way through, it complained about a file it could not
    upgrade and aborted (moodle).  I booted into the old kernel,
    removed the package and restarted the upgrade.

3)  After upgrade, the new kernel has an OOPS on boot so I
    am still using the old kernel.

4) Lots of old packages were left on the system.  I am trying to
    remove them but this is taking a while....  I am using
    package-cleanup --orphans >ofile then editing ofile and
    feeding it to rpm -e $(cat ofile)

The only problem I currently need help with is fixing the
kernel boot problem....  The rest I have worked through.
A fresh install would have been FAR easier.

Cheers,
