I know I'm replying to my own thread, but I see that someone 
else is having a problem that looks close to mine...

Death by apt-get:

I'm able to boot because I'm still using the default in the 
grub.conf (2.6.10-1.770_FC2), but there is a newer one 
in the grub.conf (2.6.11-0.3.rdt.rhfc2.ccrmasmp)
I'm not willing to try to change to the newer kernel because 
at least right now I can ssh in to the box.  This is 
a single proc p4  machine.

This is killing me - I was looking forward to watching Autoweek 
and then the 2 NCAA games at 2x...

Thanks,
Paul
