I had a zero timeout on grub so this meant that I had to use a Mint
A five second timeout makes very little difference, and will give you an option to recover from these kinds of situations.
Booting 'Fedora (3.2.7-1.fc16.i686 PAE)' Loading Fedora (3.2.7-1.fc16.i686 PAE) Loading initial ramdisk ... [ 2.957551] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)
Looks like a busted initramfs to me. Something might've gotten broken during the automatic update.
First-ly, carefully compare the command lines in grub.cfg for both this kernel, and the one you can boot, to see if there are any differences.
Second-ly, if they're identical, rpm -e the bad one, then run yum update again to install it, and see what happens.
