FWIW, I have been struggling with this for awhile. And now, in what seems like "magic," it is working fine in rawhide but not in F16 (tho it does in maybe 1 in 20 boots). I followed the procedure in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Netconsole. Since the e-net card is renamed to a local bus name (p37p1 in my case), specifying eth0 in the netconsole parms wasn't working and systemd was reporting an error and specifying p37p1 wasn't working since the device was eth0 at the time. Since updating systemd to systemd-37-1.fc17.x86_64, specifying eth0 now works nicely to start netconsole logging well before NetworkManager does its thing and I still get a eth0 network using NetworkManager. Before the systemd update, I would see the following in dmesg: ...
