Description of problem:
Bad: After a fresh install of FC3, I do a yum update, reboot.
The new kernel cannot mount root and then kernel panic.
Good: Then I boot old kernel (FC3 original) kernel-smp-2.6.9-1.667.i686.rpm and has no problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum update
2. reboot
3. New kernel is boot automatically
4. Cannot mount root, kernel panic
  

Actual Results:  Cannot mount root, kernel panic

Expected Results:  Mount root, normal system startup.

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2005-08-03 22:50:39 UTC 
sounds like a dupe of bug 163407. Please update your mkinitrd package, then rpm
-e kernel-smp-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 and then install that kernel again.
This should create a working initrd.
