Dear folks,


When starting up with newer kernels, I cannot boot machine. 
I get 

dracut-initqueue[197]: Warning:  Could not boot
dracut-initqueue[197]: Warning:  /dev/root does not exist

Entering emergency mode exit the shell to continue.  Type "journalctl" to view system logs.

[olivares at localhost ~]$ uname -r
3.6.0-2.fc18.i686
[olivares at localhost ~]$ rpm -qa kernel*
kernel-devel-3.6.0-2.fc18.i686
kernel-modules-extra-3.6.1-1.fc18.i686
kernel-modules-extra-3.6.0-3.fc18.i686
kernel-3.6.1-1.fc18.i686
kernel-3.6.0-2.fc18.i686
kernel-devel-3.6.0-3.fc18.i686
kernel-headers-3.6.1-1.fc18.i686
kernel-modules-extra-3.6.0-2.fc18.i686
kernel-3.6.0-3.fc18.i686
kernel-devel-3.6.1-1.fc18.i686


I am booting to the kernel in `uname -r`, the newer ones

kernel-3.6.1-1.fc18.i686
kernel-3.6.0-3.fc18.i686

do not boot :(  I downloaded a Nightly build to test/install on another machine and I get this same error on top.  The livecd does not boot.  I disable selinux with "enforcing=0" and it still fails the same, so it is not selinux's fault.

Thanks for ideas & suggestions.

Best Regards,


Antonio
