I have recently did a fresh install of fedora core 1. I do not have a CD burner so I went with what I had. I have been using Linux off and on for a couple of years using Slack 10 and Ubuntu since Warty. I want to use fedora and would like to get FC4 but funds wont allow it so I thought I would do it the hard way. I did a yum upgrade to FC2 and after a couple of tries I have succeeded. The only problem is that I cannot boot into the new 2.6.10-1.77_FC2 kernel. I can boot the the old kernel.

The problem is after the machine boots up and the grub menu comes up I select the new kernel then the screen goes black and thats it. I let it set for 10 minutes and it will not do anything.

Any help will be most appreciated, thanks Kelean.

Probably will not work unless you do some serious tweaking. If you want a different kernel then you should probably install it from source. You can get linux cds cheap for only about ten bucks from various sites.
