I updated to mkinitrd-6.0.20-1.fc9 and nash-6.0.20-1.fc9 before 
upgrading to kernel-2.6.24-0.83.rc5.fc9. The results were the kernel 
hung at /dev/rtc and /dev/rtc0 already created. Basically it failed as 
badly as previous fc9 kernels. So programs before kernel seem to be the 
working combination.
