that hasn't been a commonly reported problem with F10 but after you boot
up, have you run 'grub-install /dev/sda' to ensure that grub is properly
installed? What does /boot/grub/grub.conf look like?

you probably have some packages that have to be manually removed that
are blocking the update.

You probably want to check out this page
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq even if you used the DVD or
preupgrade to install the update as this has a lot of information useful
like 'clean stuff' section and various issues going from like 8=>9 or
9=>10
