Description Mark Hamzy 2012-08-22 15:58:13 UTC 
Description of problem:

Booting with the following command line:

linux vnc ip=9.5.250.145::9.5.250.1:255.255.255.0:sharpie.rchland.ibm.com:eth0:none ip=9.5.252.203::9.5.252.1:255.255.255.0::eth1:none nameserver=9.10.244.100 bootdev=eth0 live.updates=http://chukar.rchland.ibm.com/updates-newui.img rd.debug

I am manually configuring both ethernet cards and trying to download an updates image.  Unfortunately, it fails with:
dracut-initqueue[630]: Warning: Could not boot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dracut-023-2.fc18.ppc64.rpm
kernel-3.6.0-0.rc1.git6.1.fc18.ppc64.rpm
systemd-188-3.fc18.ppc64.rpm

This is not fixed by anaconda-18.6.1-1 and dracut-023-20.git20120823.fc18 using the Fedora 18 ppc iso located at http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/stage/f18-20120823.1/ppc64/iso/Fedora-18-ppc64-DVD.iso .
