Re: X won't start after update to latest kernel

I see several problems being reported with the latest 2.6.18-1.2200

tried booting to runlevel three, but no dice. Tried booting into the
three previous kernels I still have on my system, but X won't start with
those either. This seems a little different than other problems being
reported. Any one have a thought? It seems strange that all the kernels
have this issue - someone else reported they were able to boot in the
previous kernel.
