dracut whines...

F18 TC1 x86-64 install DVD displays some complaints (the following indented lines
appeared on the console, but I copied them later from /var/log/boot.log):

  [[1;32m  OK  [0m] Started Show Plymouth Boot Screen.
  [[1;32m  OK  [0m] Reached target Basic System.

  Welcome to [1mLinux[0m!

I did not observe any problem that I can attribute to the condition
reported by these messages, but they appear to say something unexpected
has occurred.

There was no line in /tmp/syslog that contained "dracut" but I can supply
this file if anyone has an interest in it.
