Eventually I had to reinstall a bare-bones Fedora on top of my old Fedora w/o reformatting to get it to work.  I probably could have done a more efficent way, but it was the only way I could find at the time to install a new bootloader and get my partition table set up right again.  It worked really well, except that now I don't have access to my wireless card, my sound card, or my USB ports.  Since it's a kernel problem, I used up2date to grab 2.4.22-1.2149.nptl.  This not only did not help me with sound or usb, but it didn't come with sources so that I could get NVIDIA working or my ndiswrapper that lets me use my wireless card. 

I presume this is a laptop - what wireless card, what sound card, what
motherboard/usb interface? Be more verbose in reporting.

Did all of this work before? Or was it "broken" earlier?
