FC2 boot problem

My desktop has been running FC2 with no problems, until
the screen froze this a.m. and I had to re-boot. As it
was starting up, I noticed there were three kernel options
-- I think it must have yum-updated the kernel last night
(I usually keep two kernel versions on hand). However,
the following problem happened whichever kernel I chose.
It would get to the 'Welcome to Fedora' screen, and
then go blank with the hourglass -- as you usually see
before the various services get started. But it would go
no further; every so often the screen would refresh, but
the blank screen with hourglass would re-appear, ad
infinitum. It doesn't get to the screen with the progress
bar and 'Show details' option, so I have no idea how to
begin debugging this problem.
Any suggestions on where to start would be greatly
appreciated!
