I have some more information.
I found that if boot single user mode and I wait long enough at the
INIT: verions 2.86 booting
screen, I can hit Ctrl-C and it will dump me to a shell. Some commands
like 'ls' work fine, but a lot of commands seem to hang (I can Ctrl-C
out of them). The 'mount' command says that the root file system is
mounted (rw).
/dev/sdb2 on / type ext3 (rw)
If I try to touch any files, however, I get the error message that the
root file system is mounted read-only. /proc/mounts on the other hand says:
/dev/root / ext3 ro,data=ordered 0 0
Any ideas on the problem?

I have this machine setup to dual boot F7 and FC6. FC6 still boots just
fine. When I boot FC6 and try to chroot to the F7 installation, that
also hangs.
Any ideas on what the problem is? Here is my yum log:
