Created attachment 587075 [details] seriel-console capture After following a workaround on test list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2012-May/108318.html rpm -e device-mapper-multipath-libs-0.4.9-22.fc18.i686(x86_64) device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-22.fc18.i686(x86_64) an initramfs was created, but still unbootable. So something has changed in the way mulitpath is created\used. Now also have plymouth\initqueue\crypto\systemd-udev problems, more than likely due to removing *multipath*

reassigning to grubby, because of comment 9

It does, will upload a new /var/log/dracut.log created as part of "yum update". May help shed light for whicever team.
Created attachment 587577 [details] debug.log from yum update This is from kernel-3.5.0-0.rc0.git8.1.fc18 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=320723 You will notice a failed: "F: installkernel failed in module multipath"
(In reply to comment #14) > You will notice a failed: > "F: installkernel failed in module multipath" I see this just when running dracut on a Rawhide (i686) VM: # dracut -f /boot/initramfs-3.5.0-0.rc0.git8.1.fc18.i686.PAE.img 3.5.0-0.rc0.git8.1.fc18.i686.PAE F: installkernel failed in module multipath # rpm -q dracut dracut-018-74.git20120522.fc18.noarch Curiously, if I add the --debug option, an initramfs does get built but the system won't boot anyway, the kernel complaining about a module format problem.
Fixed by dracut-019-1.fc18 for me http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=321891 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 826689 ***
Fixed by dracut-019-1.fc18 for me too.
