Patrick,

Richard claims to have "fedup"ped to F19. The kernel remains F18 and an
old F18 kernel at that (I've got several F17 boxes with
3.8.4-102.fc17.x86_64 kernels). My suspicion was that a yum config is
blocking a kernel update.

Richard, can you check the output of "cat /etc/issue" and verify that
your machine really thinks it's F19?
