Apparently I got my wires crossed slightly. The results when booting 3.1.0 and 3.3.2 are different. So... I followed the instructions on fedoraproject.org, modifying the kernel command line options to get debugging output. 3.3.2 - console output -------------------------------------------------------------- ... [see attachment] Write protecting the kernel text: 5456k Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 2124k NX-protecting the kernel data: 4784K init[1] general protection ip:b771a419 sp:bffccc5c error:0 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill init! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At this point the system is locked up and there does not appear to be any way to retrieve any init.log file. See the attachment for a screen dump of the final bits of the console output. Because this computer is located remotely I don't have any way to access more output than that. 3.1.0 console output ----------------------------------------------------- ....[lots of output] dmesg | grep dracut >>> very many screenshots [ I have no way to save the output to a file] The last 7 screens of this dmesg output are attached. From the emergency shell, the output of dmsetup ls --tree --> No devices found blkid --> no output blkid -c udev --> no output 2.6 Boot --------------------------------------------------- Boots normally.
