Won't boot after update FC17

I just updated fc17.
I get two messages;

13.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64
Loading Initial Ramdisk
Cannot open Font file True

Above was copied manually using a pencil and might suffer from a write-o

It runs on a bit then:

A whole list of messsaged relating to DMA errors on the boot disk.
If someone can tell me how to find them I'll send them along.

It then seems to be stalled although I only waited a couple of minutes.

If I boot from the previous line on the boot screen it boots fine.

And directino would be appreciated.

Re: Won't boot after update FC17

Either your HDD is broken or there's a new driver which doesn't agree with your hardware.

If you can still boot an older kernel then you can continue to use this one, but you should check the smart values of your HDD

Code:
smartctl -a /dev/sda

Re: Won't boot after update FC17

I also get the Cannot Open Font File True I just let it go doesn't seem to be overly important. As far as the other message I think either an hdd issue or a driver issue hadn't had to face that one.
