My Dell laptop has run various versions of Fedora since purchased in
July of 2004 and F8t1 is the only one to have caused any troubles.

An upgrade from F7 to devel via yum gives a system that will not boot
with the devel kernels, but still works fine with the F7 kernel.

So far none of the suggested kernel options have allowed a newer
kernel to boot.
