Whip out the rescue CD, and now a few minutes later I'm back in business.But then, I updated a different server to 2.6.33.8-149.fc13, and it booted the new kernel just fine. Previously, this same server got similarly de-grubbed by an earlier kernel update, but the laptop had no issues being updated to the same kernel.I can't say that it -ever- happened to me (and I'm running Fedora since F1 on multiple workstations) This, of-course, doesn't invalidate your report. Can you find some commonality between the two (?) effected machines?
Absolutely nothing in common. One is an i686 laptop, the other one is a dual-Opteron server.
