Probly not respondin to me, but...
I had updated initrd (heck all of rawhide kept current daily).
An makin a new initrd resulted in the same panic. But I did check,
an the 2877 kernel initrd is damn near twice the size.
/ # du -k /boot/initrd-2.6.1*

2872 /boot/sav-initrd-2.6.19-1.2877.fc7.img
sav- is the original initrd. I forgot to mention before that
yum did install 2877 an update my grub.conf OTOH, my tokeep=4 was
ignored and an older rawhide kernel removed. Not what I wanted, but
at least I'm aware (again) of it now. It's happened before.
