I updated to 2.6.12 kernel without updating something else necessary,

boot of disk. We had 2 64 bit systems have the kernel problem and the
other is back up and running fine. The only disk I can get the second
system to boot is off a 386 iso, which causes problems when I try and do
anything (including chroot /mnt/sysimage) so I can't really rescue the
system. I'd be ok with reinstalling, because I was just doing the
initial system set-up anyway, but I can't figure out how to do that
without being able to boot off a cd. The instructions I've found from
booting from the network start with--boot from an iso cd (not helpful).

How did you initially install the machine in question? At that time it
booted from your CD but now after a kernel update it does not any
longer? Please provide hardware information, especially about the
controller (IDE / SCSI) and what else might be important.

The machine came with fedora 3 (kernel 2.6.10) installed, so I guess it
did boot from 64 bit CD at one point, but I never did it.
Hardware RAID: 8-Ch 3Ware SATA 9500S-8 w/ battery
IDE Devices: hda: QSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM SBW242C
SCSI Devices: AMCC 9500S-8 DISK (Direct-Access)
This is the system info for the system that did come back up:

The only differences between the two are disk size and sw/hw raid.
Daredevil has software raid, the dead one has hw raid.
