Hello Sergey ,

If you're able to boot in previous kernel ,do so and do :

$ su - c  ' gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf '

after the

#hiddenmenu  , you will see the following

title Fedora (2.6.31-33.fc12.x86_64)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-33.fc12.x86_64 ro
root=UUID=xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx rhgb quiet  (and maybe other kernel line
arguments)

Delete  "rhgb quiet"  and save the file .

Then reboot ,and after the grub screen ,press escape to see the messages.

You'll see some more info appearing then before ,and that info could give me
a hint as where to look further.

Greetings,
