David, a similar thing happened to me once after updating a FC4
system. No kernel would boot. I ended up booting from a resuce disk,
editing /etc/selinux/config and setting SELINUX=disabled, then booted
the system. This would still leave matters to explore but could at
least get your system up and running again. Good luck!
