Updated to f20, but can only boot f19.

Yes, I did that Monday afternoon.  I did not watch it continually, but I saw no indication of trouble until the boot screen came up with no Fedora-20.

Important question...  Given my answer above, is what Chris advises...

... still the proper things to do?

Chris's part 1 raises another question.  My system was new in March 2013.  Fedora-18 was installed.  Whatever grub came with that is the grub that was installed.  I ran "yum update" every week.  In July or August, I updated to Fedora-19.  I continue to run "yum update" every week.  So why is my grub so out-of date?  Doesn't the "yum update" take care of that?  By the way, I don't recall doing anything to customize my grub boot parameters.  Could this have something to do with this being a dual-boot system?

thanks,
Bill.
