Description John Reiser 2010-11-12 00:53:35 EST 
Description of problem:  Devices aren't sane at boot.  fsck returns an error and drops to a shell.  Running fsck by hand complains that a terminal cannot be opened.  syslog does not record messages.  "yum update" has been run, and succeeded.  .autorelabel was run, and forced a reboot with no confirmation required.

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2010-11-12 05:40:35 EST 
current dracut version in rawhide should fix this bug...

if 
$ lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img|head -4

Does not show dracut-008-0.8.git5e1898f.fc15 as the version, then please recreate your initramfs image with dracut and retry.
Comment 4 John Reiser 2010-11-12 12:02:20 EST 
OK, dracut was one step behind at 008-0.7.  Rebuilding initramfs and rebooting fixed the problem of this bz report.  Now who is supposed to supply /etc/udev/rules.d/10-console.rules which seems to be missing?

10-console.rules is coming back with the newest dracut... But, it might vanish with future versions, because /dev/tty1 is always there because of devtmpfs, and thus we might not need 10-console.rules. I only include it right now, because it parallelizes the process.
