I did the 5.6 update yesterday.  When I started the machine today, I did
not get a login screen -- it was just a blank screen with no cursor or
anything.  I shut down, restarted and when grub came up selected the
previous kernel.  The system came up as usual, presented a login screen,
and is working OK.

There is apparently something buggy related to the new kernel
(2.6.18-238.5.1.el5).
