In my case, it was an obvious kernel panic.
AFAIS, the cause was running a Fedora 16 kernel underneath of Fedora
17. Preupgrade (rsp. yum and/or grub underneath) obviously did not
upgrade grub2.cfg to boot into the Fedora 17 kernel.
For me, rebooting into the F17 installation with the F16 kernel
underneath and then explicitly removing and reinstalling the
fc17-kernel fixed this issue:
# rpm -qa 'kernel-PAE*'
kernel-PAE-3.3.7.fc17.i386
kernel-PAE-3.3.7.fc16.i386
Hrm, for me I still have an F16 kernel that seems to be eclipsing the
F17 kernel:
mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~ $ rpm -qa kernel
kernel-3.3.7-1.fc16.x86_64
kernel-3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64
kernel-3.3.6-3.fc16.x86_64
mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~ $ uname -r
3.3.7-1.fc16.x86_64

I also had problems doing an upgrade from F16 to F17 with old kernels
laying around. I though it was because I was using grub2+UEFI so the
installer couldn't find the grub.conf file. I hand-edited, and haven't
had any problems, since, except, I expect the first Kernel upgrade that
comes along will also not find my grub.conf.
I've probably completely setup my boot loader wrongly, but I suppose
that a matter for a separate thread.
