Just for the record, the latest kernel for Fedora 16 causes a kernel
panic. From this I've deduced that installing Fedora 16 without updates
first resulted in my having a bootable kernel and hence a workable
Fedora 16.  As for the reporting of bugs, when I can reliably reproduce
an error with some useful feedback I will do so, but as I well know it
is very difficult to fix bugs with limited information or ability to
reliably reproduce them. Unfortunately I'm still finding Fedora 16
somewhat unstable, yum/yumex being particularly prone to becoming
unstable. So no updating my laptop just yet.

Anyway, more information to come regarding failures during startup, as
these appear it bit more consistent, and easy to narrow down.

Here's hoping people new to Linux don't come up against the problems I
have, it may not put them off Linux, but just the Fedora distribution.
