Removing dracut-modules-olpc-0.5.8-1.fc15.x86_64 and rebuilding the initramfs worked for me. It's a little non-intuitive that the kernel package would be modified inflight like this by rpm/yum. Perhaps this bug should be moved to dracut-modules-olpc or dracut? In Comment #1 of Bug 621001, Mr. Hoyer gives advice on systems which do not need them, a list of yum modules should not be installed lest the install of a new kernel package fail. This seems to be a common problem, since Bug 621344 is attributed to the same root cause. Would it be impermissibly needy to request that the default dracut config ignore the module or modules loaded by dracut-modules-olpc if, as the case appears, that package supplies two alternate dracut configs intended for use with those modules? I lack the ability to move this bug from the kernel component to dracut now, but would point out that I found it easy to install dracut-modules-olpc while possibly looking for any docs or devel packages associated with dracut. Thanks. dracut-modules-olpc really should alter the "check" script/function to check if it is really a olpc. Or the check should return 255 and a config file should pull in the module. Of course the config file should only have the add_modules=".." on a olpc and should not be shipped with dracut-modules-olpc itsself. Created attachment 516967 [details]
