Hello Everyone
I figured out right away that I could just edit the kernel and initrd lines from 
the Grub boot menu and I could boot the new kernel.  Unfortunately, it defaulted 
to some sub-nouveau driver that would only display 1280x1024 on my 1920x1080 
monitor.

Since I found a workaround to my nVidia issue, I tried editing those lines in 
the Grub boot menu, thereby booting the new kernel.  Works perfectly, and 
resolution is back to 1920x1080 (using the nVidia driver no less...)

Following the advice from another message on this thread, I tried re-installing 
the kernel RPM's.  This did not fix the problem.  I still only have two items on 
my Grub boot menu.
