Great - I understand now - yes I remember there were certainly mkinitrd
issues in F8 which are hopefully corrected in f9.

Indeed this is a laptop - I guess I can re-run mkinitrd manually 
and maybe this will work ahead of waiting for another kernel.
Hence referring to the keyfile in /root will be better than /dev/urandom
