updated kernel failed

[Anne Ramey]

I just got two new servers with fedora core 3 installed, so after 
setting up the networking, the first thing I did was a yum update.  It 
found many things, of course, including a kernel update:

kernel.x86_64                           2.6.10-1.770_FC3       installed 

kernel-doc.noarch                       2.6.10-1.770_FC3       installed 

kernel-smp.x86_64                       2.6.10-1.770_FC3       installed 

kernel-utils.x86_64                     1:2.4-13.1.49_FC3      installed 

kernel.x86_64                       2.6.12-1.1372_FC3   updates-released
kernel-debuginfo.x86_64          2.6.12-1.1372_FC3      updates-released
kernel-devel.x86_64              2.6.12-1.1372_FC3      updates-released
kernel-doc.noarch                2.6.12-1.1372_FC3      updates-released
kernel-smp.x86_64                2.6.12-1.1372_FC3      updates-released
kernel-smp-devel.x86_64          2.6.12-1.1372_FC3      updates-released
kernel-utils-debuginfo.x86_64    1:2.4-13.1.49_FC3      updates-released

I did all these (& the rest of the update), then I rebooted (to be using 
the new kernel) and they didn't come back up.  At the point where they 
should be booting linux, there is just a blinking cursor on the screen. 
  Is there a known problem with this kernel?
