I've reverted and can get in. I made the original kernel the default so I
don't have to pay so close attention when it boots.
I am on an A7N8X-E Asus _Deluxe_ Motherboard. I wish it came with Adaptec SATA
Mirroring rather than sata_sil (3112A, IIRC). Adaptec comes with a nice Java
HTTP manager, but it messes system performance if you leave it running.
I guess I ought to go take a look at the fedora lists... Hmmm.
