Dracut or Selinux problem with update to kernel-2.6.31-2.fc12.x86_64 ?

Reboot after update halts on gdm with black screen .

gdm is active but not visible ,because one hit of tab and enter reboots .

While this was the first kernel update with dracut initramfs on my system ,I
suspect a rules conflict with selinux .

See also the avc denials in dmesg ,

I've spend allot of time searching bugzilla ,fedora forum ,dracut pages all
around ,and found no related problems.

Do I have to report this one ? And to what party ?

Sincerely ,
