A couple of suggestions:

	1.  Remove all power (battery and power cord) for a short
	    while, then restore power source, and try to boot again.
	    I have seen certain hardware controllers get wedged and
	    this sometimes is sufficient to clear up the problem.

	2.  Boot from YDL rescue CD and fsck your root partition.
	    You may also need to re-run ybin.

Hopefully you do not need to do a full re-install.  This isn't normally
necessary.
