These days I am very busy and haven't had the time I would like to have
to follow-up on this.
Because I have a working kernel, it is not urgent.
What I have found that I don't understand (actually there is a lot I
don't understand) is why a search was giving me acpi files in 2187
directories but none in 2200 directories. A second system had them in
both 2187 and 2200 directories.
I ran yum list acpi on the failing system and acpi was not installed
(don't know why not). I installed it and now see acpi in both 2187 and
2200 directories.
I tried rebooting after installing acpi but got the same results.
There must be a power fail recovery file somewhere that is unique to
2200 but is not deleted or at least overwritten when the 2200 kernel is
removed and re-installed.
The only thing I can think of is that some critical package on your
system that is needed to successfully install the kernel, like mkinitrd
might be corrupted.
Then another possibility is that this particular box does not work well
with the 2220 kernel version. Check bugzilla for kernel bugs related to
acpi errors and of course your boot stanza for additions to the file
like acpi=off.
There was a period where acpi was off by default and I had to include
acpi=on to the boot line in order to successfully boot.
I know, this probably did not help you, but just some ideas which might
lead you to a solution.
I'd personally try shutting down the system with 'shutdown -Fr now' to
see if the bad power-off condition possibly corrupted the filesystem but
is not flagged by the journal. Then check out the rpm database for
missing parts in installed rpms.
