If you read the thread, I did chroot. Chroot runs whatever programs the new root holds, thus I was running f11 applications with the f9 kernel. It worked.
I was leery of this myself, so I did some version checking and used the which command and verified that everything was running from my f11 installation. That is the beauty of chroot.
The real beauty of using a live version is that you can multiple sessions running (normal and chroot) via multiple kterms as well as access the Internet, have full graphical interface, etc. This the first rescue I have done in a long, long time and the first time that I have used a live CD to do it.
Linux is one heck of an OS. I remember trying to do stuff like this in Windows, ie mount a non running hard drive and access it from a running one... it was generally version disaster after version disaster.
Now if I could just figure out why my f11 install won't boot. Time to google.
You don't want a live CD but to run the f11 DVD in rescue mode. Then you
can chroot to the F11 / directory and apply any fixes. That way the
programs you run will be F11 programs.
