Can you attach the full log?
This is happening to me with Test 3 First noticed it as [FAILED] during shutdown. results of cat /var/log/messages | grep gpm =========================================== Oct 14 08:33:07 gstpc gpm: gpm startup succeeded Oct 14 08:33:14 gstpc gpm[5248]: O0o.oops(): [gpm.c(949)]: Oct 14 08:33:14 gstpc gpm[5248]: mouse initialization failed Oct 14 09:08:42 gstpc gpm: gpm shutdown failed Oct 14 09:10:09 gstpc gpm: gpm startup succeeded Oct 14 09:10

Let me guess... this happens every time you boot with rhgb, and doesn't happen otherwise?
I get the same thing but have figured out why (partially). I just added a new mouse and started seeing the red [Failed] by "Shutting down console mouse services" when shutting down. Except everything seems to work fine. There's nothing special about my mouse, just a generic wheel mouse so that's what I told FC1 to use. Since I'm using the USB / PS2 adapter that came with the mouse, I'm using that also and told FC1 to use PS/2 instead of USB. But I discovered that if I simply remove the adapter and tell FC1 that it's a USB mouse instead of a PS/2 mouse, my warning goes away. So in my case at least, there seems to be something funky with the USB / PS2 adapter or with how FC1 handles it. In either case, the mouse functions fine, including console cut n paste. The only difference is whether or not I receive that failure message when shutting down.
