dmesg with backtrace

Description of problem:
I've just tested the nightly build xfce-i386-20100911.18.iso (from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/xfce/) and after using anaconda to install to hard disk, on the first reboot sysvinit drops me to a command line prompt "rescue mode" asking for the root password or to press Control-D for a reboot.

The only error I have found so far is from dmesg: "include/linux/cgroup.h:542 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
A quick "rpm -qa | grep 'kernel|init|systemd|anaconda" gives me:
Xfce spin nightly build xfce-i386-20100911.18.iso
systemd-sysvinit-8-3.fc14.i686
anaconda-14.15-2.fc14.i686
systemd-units-8-3.fc14.i686
initscripts-9.17-2.fc14.i686
sysvinit-tools-2.87-4.dsf.fc14.i686
systemd-8-3.fc14.i686
kernel-2.6.35.4-12.fc14.i686


How reproducible:
At every boot.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download xfce nightly build
2. install to hard disk
3. reboot
  
Actual results:
System fallbacks to rescue mode / init 1.

Expected results:
Anaconda shows a welcome screen and asks for a local user configuration, then launch a GDM/X session.

Additional info:
Various logs are attached.

my fstab

just for reference but nothing seems wrong to me in this fstab.
I've checked the UUID for the root ("/") and swap partitions and they are the right ones (the same I get from `blkid`)

By the way, don't know if it's important but /etc/inittab still defaults to runlevel 5 (X11 mode).
