Noticed that after a system update on Fedora 16 I am unable to get the laptop bootable with the 3.3 kernel however I can still use the 3.1 kernel.

With the failed boot I get a screen stateing something about the nouveau not finding anything and falling back and then it hangs on Kernal panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt.

I have not installed the Nvidia drivers and this happens after a fresh install straight after a system update.

I also have 4 different grub menu items - two for 3.3 and two for 3.1.

Seems I also cannot install VMware Workstation 8 as it is looking for headers that are already installed and updated on my system.

Please boot into the working kernel and paste the output of:

rpm -qa | egrep kernel

Also try a clean update again:

yum clean all && yum -u update

Check the following files for errors after a failure (you may have to use a virtual terminal ctrl alt f3):

/var/log/Xorg.*.log
dmesg

Try sudo yum reinstall kernel*

Yeah, d'oh. We need to clean this stuff up somehow.
