kernel 217.2.8 won't boot.

Kernel 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i586 works fine on my laptop, but 217.2.8
won't boot at all.  It seems to run through everything just fine and
then the video starts blinking like crazy in text mode, like it can't
start the nvidia driver.   After that I get a black screen with a
blinking cursor. 

Kernel 217.2.3 is working OK for me.  I can live without 217.2.8, except
that I am worried that the next kernel update will delete it and I might
be left with zero working kernels. 

Any idea on what I could do to get 217.2.8 running ?

Thanks
