The information from your system is of interest.

What am I doing you ask?  I'm not sure myself but I have three boxes 
running F7, two installed from the Live CD and all three work nicely, 
however the one I installed yesterday is unhappy with the updated 
Kernel.  I will simply not boot from that kernel for the present, no 
doubt there will be another and when it comes along the situation will 
change so I've decided to let it slide until then since it's apparently 
not a recognized problem with a known fix.

I thank you for your response and comments.
