The last message out of the kernel is: RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 The next message I normally see is: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). But, instead of that, my box pauses for a second, then reboots. How rude. The x86_64 UP kernel boots fine.Maybe, just maybe, something went screwy when the RPM was installed, and that particular initrd got corrupted, causing that particular kernel image to blow up when it tries to decompress it. However I did not see any obvious error during the install.
Right now, it's time for my beauty sleep; when I have time I'll try to rebuild the initrd; for now I rolled back to 2.6.10-1.9_FC2smp.
