Fwiw, you ought to be placing your comments here in the thread "boot, linux text" as this is where Dave's comments are.

So, I downloaded the kernel-3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64.rpm and extracted its vmlinuz-3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64 and did a diff of what is on my system and what is on a VM. They are all identical.
