well, I have 2 problems... first I can't boot into any fedora kernel
3.17.x or 3.18.x
right now, this booted:
 uname -a
Linux pauls-server 3.16.1-301.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Aug 25 13:06:39 UTC
2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


when I reinstalled windows ( which also didn't work) and reran grub,
bootloader gets stuck in some error dracut device not found..

but 3.16 boots into the same /dev/sdb6 root, sdb4 /home...
and yum update also errors out
Error: Package: wine-core-1.7.35-3.1.x86_64 (@home_DarkPlayer_Pipelight)
           Requires: libgphoto2_port.so.10()(64bit)
           Removing: libgphoto2-2.5.3-9.fc21.x86_64

              ~libgphoto2_port.so.12()(64bit)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

fedora 21.. too much fun!!!
