I replaced the HD and installed again (try ~#8). Boot still halts after:

...
sd 1:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk
scsi 1:0:1:0: CD-ROM ......
Waiting for driver initialization.
noresume passed, not resuming...
Creating root device.
Mounting root filesystem.

initrd is at: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/tmp/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img
