There are plenty of possibilities, but this could mean that the video driver did not start. Try hitting CTRL-ALT-F3. If that produces a text console with a login prompt, then this is your problem. In particular, if you had been using the nvidia proprietary drivers, you will need to install it again for your new kernel. --Greg

AIUI, if you want to use the binary blob, follow the same instructions you did the first time. If you want to use kmod, use this: yum install kmod-nvidia (You may need to specify PAE or x64 depending on the kernel you're using.)

I'm having the same problem. I'm using the proprietary nvidia drivers. Ctrl-Alt-F3 does NOT produce a command prompt. Any ideas ? Thanks
