See my earlier posts for details; this still persists.
I've not noticed that anyone's asking for information.

It's a bit blurry, I think the camera doesn't handle the contrast
well, but it is legible.
I've had this on some kernels and not on others, but what is more
interesting is it can go away depending on what kernel you installed
them from. There was talk of a mkinitrd error when installing from
2.6.24 kernels, but I get that problem for some kernels when I install
from 2.6.23-1 and not for others, and sometimes they install fine from
the latest.
My advice.. keep lots of prior kernels, I've currently got
installonlyn=10, and I've locked the oldest kernel to not get removed as
I was wondering about this:
installonly_limit=8
installonlypkgs=kernel*
I then did a
yum install kernel
and there was only one left.
well. I just installed the -80 rawhide kernels, had both give this
switchroot issue, then uninstalled them and reinstalled them and both
work. Get the kernel rpm cached, and try installing it from 2-3
different kernel versions... (a pretty weird issue).
I didn't install any .24 kernels, I've got a .23 that yum doesn't now about.
I think I'm up to six consecutive kernels that don't work.
After I wrote this, I booted my pocket .23 and found it didn't work very
well. So, I installed one this way - a handy hint for he terminally
desperate:
rpm2cpio
</var/cache/yum/updates/packages/kernel-2.6.23.9-85.fc8.x86_64.rpm |
cpio --extract -d
rpm -qp --scripts
/var/cache/yum/updates/packages/kernel-2.6.23.9-85.fc8.x86_64.rpm
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --depmod --install
2.6.23.9-85.fc8
and that's what's working now.
Anyone else with this might add there two bob's worth here:
