[ale] Fedora Booting experts

[Jim Kinney]

/boot on raid1 will not cause an issue. The BIOS will connect to what
it's told (sda, sdb, etc NOT md0). It keeps /boot in sync for a manual
bootup with a failed sda.

Basically, it sounds like the kernel upgrade failed or there is a
block on kernel upgrades (it's a yum plugin - found in
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/).

try a removal of the kernel rpm and reinstall and check
/boot/grub/grub.conf to see if it upgraded the file. If not, do it
manually and follow the pattern there.
