Would this blog post be of help to you?

He claims the fedora upgrade left old kernel image files behind
in /boot/vmlinuz-fedup and /boot/initramfs-fedup.img. It sounds consistent
with your problem when nothing wants to boot. Before you remove (or move)
those, make sure you actually have another kernel installed! (check
/boot/vmlinuz*). It sounds consistent with your problem anyway, although
don't really see how the upgrade could get it so wrong. (if your keyboard
doesn't work, you'll obviously have to do this from the live CD of course)
