thanks a lot.  
CTRL-ALT-F3 did bring the login prompt.  i have been using nvidia proprietary drivers so i guess this was the problem.
how should i proceed from here?  yum install ???
thanks again,
monty

There are plenty of possibilities, but this could mean that the video
driver did not start. Try hitting CTRL-ALT-F3. If that produces a text
console with a login prompt, then this is your problem.

In particular, if you had been using the nvidia proprietary drivers, you
will need to install it again for your new kernel.
