Under the 3.5 kernel I need to have the hid_generic module loaded

Why not just build it in, then?
Because at first I didn't know what the problem was. This could also could
conceivably be a problem for fresh installs in a future where we are using
3.5 kernels for f17, but the module isn't included by default.
For now I added hid_generic to the list of kernel modules to include. I expect
there will be a new dracut in rawhide soon as there have been a lot of
releases lately.
The point of the original message was to suggest that if we use 3.5 kernels
for F17, I think it would be a good idea to change the f17 version of dracut
to include hid_generic by default. It isn't obvious to me that that will
happen.
