Hi, I got exactly the same problem. I upgaded kernel from
kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 on my HP nx5000 to kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3, Boot
freezed. I troed to boot to the old kernel kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3, it
froze too.
Many help to get it started? If I used FC rescure disk, How can revert
current kernel to orignial one?
Thanks a lot

If the kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 used to work and then stopped working
after upgrading to the kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 version, using the
original kernel might not be of much help. There is probably a problem
related to something else that you installed along with the kernel
update that is causing you problems.
Regardless, the answer to your question would be to use the --oldpackage
option to rpm. This option will allow you to install older rpm versions.
rpm -ivh --oldpackage kernel-2*.rpm
as root user while in the directory that contains the kernel rpm package
(and as root) should install the older kernel version.
