This is either a missing initrd.img or, more likely, a faulty initrd.img created by dracut. In my opinion Rob should fill a bug against dracut. I don't run into this problem, although I used at least the same two kernels which Rob sees this error. Some days ago I run into a similar problem [1] but this was caused by the missing initrd.img line in the menu.lst configuration file.

With 2.6.2 it booted until GDM should appear : black screen and monitor shutdown after a short wile . See also " Dracut or Selinux ... " thread on this forum (14-09-09). Its already a whole story , and depending on the results of what I suggested , I can refer to further "cures" . There are indeed issues with Dracut ,but they are partly as result of selinux-policy 3.6.31-3 . In the meantime Dan Walsh has created 3.6.31-4 but it is not yet pushed in rawhide . Dracut couldn't create a correct ( complete ) initrd ,for several reasons , and so the system would not show up GDM ,and your stuck ! That's why I suggest level 3 ,and then startx because that worked ( for me ). Also with the partly created initrd ,it went wrong ,dracut had not "promoted" itself to be the rightful owner and the selinux context wasn't correct . For some reason it also wanted to read /lib/modules/kernel-2.6.31-2..../modules.dep witch isn't there ,should be : /lib/modules/2.6.31-2..../modules.dep There is still a lot more ... ,install kernel 2.6.31-12 didn't work the "normal" way. Latest updates didn't update initscripts 8.99-1 and ... I solved al of this ,except I still have to go via level 3 & login & startx Kernel 2.6.31-12 and initscripts 8.99-1 are doing well ,but it had & has a to do ... Of course you can wait for updates ,but when nobody exposes the bugs , well ... wait . Would still like to see the results from other installs on this ,(going via level 3) Greetings, -- Tack Martin
