System locked up during update of kernel, yum in unclean state and kernel half-installed

Some more information,

I did a "rpm --verify kernel-3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64".  All of the files
seem to be okay and they all have the verify flags of "5S.......",
nothing else.

As far as grub, the 3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64 revision of the kernel is
listed in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. However I'm still running with the -1
revision.

I did notice when grub was booting that it said it was grub version
1.99 - is that normal?

My /boot has this; notice there's no -2 version of the initramfs, and
the other -2 files are zero-length.
