I don't know how Fedora releases the packages, but support for keys on external device *started* with 007 [0]. And with 008 [1] parameters names have changed. With 008 logic of probing devices for key has changed. You might want to try how it behaves for your case. > What I would like to do now is to install dracut 008 (or the latest > version) in my F14 and try my USB key with it.

You can try using source package from sf.net.
