I notice you have a BOATLOAD of kernels sitting out there, and the typical Fedora install makes a 100MB boot filesystem.

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">/boot on raid1 will not cause an issue. The BIOS will connect to what<br>
it's told (sda, sdb, etc NOT md0). It keeps /boot in sync for a manual<br>
bootup with a failed sda.<br>
<br>
Basically, it sounds like the kernel upgrade failed or there is a<br>
block on kernel upgrades (it's a yum plugin - found in<br>
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/).<br>
<br>
try a removal of the kernel rpm and reinstall and check<br>
/boot/grub/grub.conf to see if it upgraded the file. If not, do it<br>
manually and follow the pattern there.<br>
