My newbie nephew was having the 'no init' problem when upgrading from
a stock fc6. Prior to the 3071 kernel upgrade yesterday I had him turn
selinux off. His subsequent 3071 boot was successful.

His system-config-wireless-gui failed because it was unable to import
the gnome library, which is also  a bit suspicious.

If you haven't already done so, you might want to try turning selinux
off, at least during the yum kernel upgrade.
