Yeah -- read your post wrong, sorry.

It looks like mkinitrd needs to be recompiled/ported to the new
libparted:

$ ldd /usr/lib64/libbdevid.so.5.1.19 |grep parted
        libparted-1.7.so.1 => not found

hmmm... It recompiled cleanly.  I don't have a local repository so I'm
afraid that using kadischi would be a bit slow for me right now.  Would
you be interested in trying an updated mkinitrd and seeing if it works?
(No guarantees that it won't break your system, etc etc.)

http://www.tiki-lounge.com/~toshio/fedora/libbdevid-python-5.1.19-1.0.0.1.x86_64.rpm

If that works for you, can you open a bug report in bugzilla.redhat.com
against mkinitrd asking that FC-6 mkinitrd be rebuilt against the new
libparted?  That way the mkinitrd maintainer can address the issue for
everyone.
