Something's not right in FC10 land. Redhat Bugzilla errors 478815and 481761

[fbceachday <fbceachday@yahoo.com>]

Between the Nvidia issue I'm stuck with and now this boot bug in two out 
of the three kernels I have, I am rather stumped.

Fedora (2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64)  is a classroom example of 
481761.  So no joy there.  At least not yet.    
Fedora (2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64), mentioned in 478815 and for me just 
passing the great black screen with blinky curser (Nvidia strikes 
again)  No joy there either.
Fedora (2.6.27.7-134.fc10.x86_64)  does boot. Yeah.  But, there's always 
one of those...
The Nvidia driver doesn't work, so I am using vesa in the xorg.conf file 
and it rewrites itseslf everytime I reboot.

 So here I sit with a mostly working FC10 install using my one working 
kernel.  Sigh.  I did say I liked using cutting edge stuff.  ;).

Is there a way to neatly back out of the kernel upgrade that set all 
this mayhem off?  Will that fix the booting issue with 27.9-159, which 
did work before the upgrade.  Or am I just stuck until this bug dies a 
natural death?

Other question.  The Nvidia issue started at the same time the upgrade 
started it's own parade, so I'm not sure what happened.

The Nvidia issue has to do with the kernel mod not loading or being an 
API mismatch.  I've had both.  I tried uninstalling the drivers and 
reloading the driver.  No joy.  I have to edit the xorg.conf and change 
the driver to vesa to get a screen. Otherwise the log basically tells me 
there are no useable screens.

Otherwise, the weather is wonderful.  :)  Suggestions and snide comments 
are welcome.
