That is not an option.  I can't start from scratch every half year and
waste a week or two to get the system back to how I need it.  Half a
year uptime isn't long; a distribution upgrade twice a year is ok and it
doesn't hurt to reboot then.  Re-installing every half year is
ridiculous.  If Fedora cannot be updated without major problems, it's
not useable.

If I need to reinstall, I'll install something else.  I hope I don't
have to, so it would be nice to know what's going on after only running
'yum update'.

Why is the booting messed up now?  Why is there a "Fedora" entry in
grubs menu that boots --- deceptively --- a vmlinux-fedup image that
fails to boot at some early stage?  Are they trying to cheat us into
upgrading now?

What will happen when I try to upgrade?  Probably the same failure, so
how would I fix that?
