Check if the system boot correctly at runlevel 1 with the newkernel

Enable kernel logging whit the syslog.conf

Clear the log of your system, reboot in your runlevel and check the new 
log for eventually errors. (see dmesg, messages, boot.log)

Disabled the quiet param on the grub configuration (to see the dialog of 
the kernel at boot ),

When the system say  "Welcome to Fedora, Press 'I' o enter interactive 
startup" the really "interactive mode" are aviabile after the OS enter 
in the respective run level (INIT).

First of this step, the system found correctly the volume data of your 
disk ??  (you see a redhat nash version 6.0.9 starting )

After the string of interactive mode, and first of entering in the 
correctly run level,  the system make this step:

Clock,udev, keyboard param, hostname, mount the partition scheme from  
the /etc/fsatb.

The system hang with  one of this step or first ??

Thanks
