I'm not in a position to give much info on this atm as it doesn't boot.

<someone else may be able to comment on the snipped console log>

Way out suggestion:
if one of the working kernel rpms are still in your yum cache,
then boot the install image into rescue mode,
 chroot to the system, rpm -ivh kernel-workingrev.rpm
 sync;sync;exit
 sync;reboot

and while you are at it you may want to fix /etc/yum.conf to keep many kernels again.


I've not had a machine following F10, so salt to taste.


Unfortunately I lack space and had been forced to clean up stale packages, including good versions of those I now system.

The only rescue image I could find to hand is a i386 job, it cannot run my system in chroot, and "rpm --root" didn't work because the rescue system is too old.

I couldn't find an f9 rescue system: after some extensive googling I found there is none, the netinst image I already had:-) is what I need.

I can report tho that my yum configuration looks okay to me, yum apparently is ignoring it again??[1]

[1] Chess notation for blunder.

As I mentioned in another post, I've tried several kernels including one I'm sure worked before, so I'm beginning to think mkinitrd is broken again.
