more info.

I rebuilt the initramfs with "dracut -f" and applied the patch referenced in bugzilla 789119 and nothing has changed.  FWIW, just prior to dracut reporting that it's caught a signal I see:

dracut: Disassembling device-mapper devices
dracut: Disassembling mdraid devices

Then it catches the signal, reports it can't open the font file and the keytable (latarcyrheb_sun16 and us), and drops to the shell prompt.  If I exit the shell I get a kernel panic and have to hard reboot.
