Have you installed proprietary video drivers from e.g. ATI/AMD, nvidia or virtualbox/vmware etc? If you do that using the manufacturer supplied install utilities then those need to be reinstalled each and every time a kernel update comes along. For nvidia, ELRepo have a solution for this and they package the nvidia supplied drivers in such a way that they survive kernel updates - google for ELRepo and kmod-nvidia if you are using the nvidia supplied drivers.

Did you try pressing Esc to see if there is anything showing under the boot splash screen?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
