Ok, right now after updating to this latest, I can not boot. I get to the point of this:
Red Hat nash version 4.1.9 starting Mounted /proc filesystem Mounting sysfs Loading jdb.ko module Creating block devices Creating root device Mounting root filesystem kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted file system with ordered data mode. Switching to new root
Then it just hangs and nothing happens. It doesn't matter if I use older kernels, same behavior. I have no clue. Is it because the dev package was deleted? I had set in /etc/udev/udev.conf UDEV_INITRD="no" to avoid the many error messages at boot time, should that be set to "yes"? Then remake the initrd?
Well, normally I hate to answer my own post, but in this case I'm ecstatic. Setting UDEV_INITRD="yes" and regenerating the initrd fix my situation.
kernel=2.6.8-1.549 MAKEDEV-3.13-1 udev-030-26
Thanks! I was having the same problem and was into the rescue mode too when I read your solution.
The only thing now is that the nvidia driver is not autoloaded anymore when starting X...
