Is this the same issue I am having on my Celeron 2.6 GHz box, where the new
Kernel dies, after "starting udev" is shown on the CRT?
Warm reboot, after "yum update" yesterday worked fine, but, after powering
down the box and powering up, I cannot boot into the new Kernel. New Kernel
is booting perfectly, on a P4   1.6 GHz box.
