mkinitrd didn't work....something causing probs with /dev/null in the
profile scripts and atd is not starting.  Don't know if there is a
relationship there or not.

Still probing...not giving up.

Recap:  updated nicely working FC3T2 today before I saw the udev hold. 
Couldn't startx.  Fixed udev, still can't startx.  Something borked when
udev failed????
