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.
