Running up to date FC16 x86-64, choosing the 3.2.7 kernel fails to mount root due to "invalid raid superblock" on the root partitions. Obviously it's tricky to capture the details, but I can take a photo if it's helpful. 3.2.6 and earlier work fine.

Does the 3.2.9 kernel update (pending stable push) in F16 work for you? https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-3.2.9-1.fc16
Sorry, I don't know how to install that version. # yum --enablerepo=updates-testing list kernel.x86_64 Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, presto, refresh-packagekit Installed Packages kernel.x86_64 3.2.5-3.fc16 @updates kernel.x86_64 3.2.6-3.fc16 @updates kernel.x86_64 3.2.7-1.fc16 @updates Available Packages kernel.x86_64 3.2.8-3.fc16 updates-testing
You should be able to grab it with 'yum update' now, it has been moved to stable and mirrored out.
I can confirm this kernel version fixed the issue again - thank you.
