In my case I did the following to get past this blockage. 1) make sure no usb device is plugged in - no mouse - nothing. 2) see if that boots. 3) if not - boot the rescue cd with networking on ( I assume you can get to internet) chroot /mnt/sysimage rpm --import usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RPM-GPG-KEY* yum update kernel boot the new kernel and see if you have joy. [ If you cannot get to internet for some reason - download the latest kernel - trasfer via cdrom and install by hand.] After you are up and running do a yum update. good luck. g/ >
