Description of problem:

3.3 rc5 (0301 patch) kernel fails to boot and has bugs in the code.

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

Linux-3.3.0-rc5-next-20120301

How reproducible:

Reproduced by a user in #fedora-qa IRC:

<satellit_> Fedora-17-Nightly-20120304.07-i686-Live-soas.iso boot fails drops to dracut shell  x86-64 version goes to gdm logs in then x-fails  FYI

Also, installed the kernel from updates-testing repo (so 3.3rc5.fc17) and I was unable to run make clean from the kernel source director due to missing Makefiles:



Steps to Reproduce:

One example:

1) Compile rc5 patch 0301 from source and attempt to boot.
2) Run make clean from 3.3 rc5 kernel source dir.
3) Install nightly i686 or amd64 version live cd per satellit's example.
  
Actual results:

Second example:

[root@Fedora17 kernels]# cd 3.3.0-0.rc5.git3.1.fc17.x86_64/
[root@Fedora17 3.3.0-0.rc5.git3.1.fc17.x86_64]# make clean
scripts/Makefile.clean:17: /usr/src/kernels/3.3.0-0.rc5.git3.1.fc17.x86_64/fs/exofs/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/kernels/3.3.0-0.rc5.git3.1.fc17.x86_64/fs/exofs/Makefile'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [fs/exofs] Error 2
make: *** [_clean_fs] Error 2
[root@Fedora17 3.3.0-0.rc5.git3.1.fc17.x86_64]# 



Expected results:

Move to Linux 3.3 rc6. Problem seems to be fixed. Fedora 17 boots fine.
