In all cases I did not get an initramfs. In all cases these kernels will not boot.
I have
kernel-3.4.0-1.fc18.x86_64 kernel-3.5.0-0.rc0.git11.1.fc18.x86_64 kernel-3.5.0-0.rc0.git12.1.fc18.x86_64
installed, I have an initramfs for all of them, and testing the latest one, it boots properly (most of the time I just boot into a non-debug kernel in runlevel 3, apply updates, and shut down). I see a different problem - for the latest 3.5.0 kernels, kernel-devel does not contain the file /usr/src/kernels/*/System.map. For example, when installing the latest kernel I saw
Processing delta metadata /usr/src/kernels/3.5.0-0.rc0.git11.1.fc18.x86_64/System.map: No such file or directory delta does not match installed data
and surely enough the file does not exist, even though "rpm -ql kernel-devel-3.5.0-0.rc0.git11.1.fc18.x86_64 | grep System.map" lists it. The two 3.5.0 kernels have this problem, the 3.4.0 kernel does not.
