Thanks Jim.

What I didn't understand was typing the entire version info. I could get 
the list with rpm but only knew about rpm -e kernel.

This will not be necessary.

I have now determined that I had some power transients. I am in Hong 
Kong - a part called the New Territories. The heavily settled urban 
areas have underground supplies - here we have overhead lines. In bad 
weather we have a lot of transients especially during thunder storms. 
Yesterday the weather was fine and I did not see it happen but I later 
found another system hung. The power company confirmed the transient 
problem. So I think this system went up and down and in-between several 
times very quickly. Fedora's attempt at recovering got corrupted.
