I have the same situation.  I just put in todays
updates to see if the the newer kernel booted and it
still comes out with the same thing as your output
from above.  

Updated: acl.i386 0:2.2.39-8.fc8 fedora-release.noarch
0:7.91-1 flex.i386 0:2.5.33-11.fc8 libacl-devel.i386
0:2.2.39-8.fc8 mkinitrd.i386 0:6.0.13-1.fc8
pirut.noarch 0:1.3.16-1.fc8 vixie-cron.i386
4:4.2-2.fc8
Dependency Updated: libacl.i386 0:2.2.39-8.fc8
nash.i386 0:6.0.13-1.fc8
Complete!

Only 2.6.23-0.139.rc3.git10.fc8 boots on on one of my
machines, it is the only kernel that works.  What
could be going wrong?
