I have this problem with an IBM Thinkpad T42. See my recent
posts on fedora-list (search for dedourek unb ca). It appears
that the kernel cannot access the disks on some machines. Best
current guess is that it may be related to moving the necessary
drivers from being built-in to the kernel to being loaded
as modules. But this is NOT YET CONFIRMED.
My newbie nephew was having the 'no init' problem when upgrading from
a stock fc6. Prior to the 3071 kernel upgrade yesterday I had him turn
selinux off. His subsequent 3071 boot was successful.
His system-config-wireless-gui failed because it was unable to import
the gnome library, which is also a bit suspicious.
If you haven't already done so, you might want to try turning selinux
off, at least during the yum kernel upgrade.
