I just bit the bullet ....
1. upgrade was totally smooth - i did not do yum upgrade ... I just
burnt the ISO DVD; and then booted off CD and chose, UPGRADE current
system ...
2. it took a long time, but it went smooth ...
3. however, I further yum upgraded (AFTER the initial upgrade) ....
my kernel, and installed the source (developer/headers) and upgraded
.... somewhere AFTER upgrading to the latest kernel - I rebooted
4. boot FAILED and was stuck at GRUB in the upper left-hand side ...
5. booted off rescue cd and did a
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/sda recheck
6. I looked at the /boot/grub/ config files .. and for some reason
peaked on the device.map .. and saw that it was changed - the current
one looked like this:
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/sda
7. I changed it back to only this:
(hd0) /dev/sda
And I was able to boot back into FC9!
