You might try to boot with the old kernel, update "mkinitrd" and
reinstall the new kernel package. In my case this procedure was
successful.
Probly not respondin to me, but...
I had updated initrd (heck all of rawhide kept current daily).
An makin a new initrd resulted in the same panic. But I did check,
an the 2877 kernel initrd is damn near twice the size.

sav- is the original initrd. I forgot to mention before that
yum did install 2877 an update my grub.conf OTOH, my tokeep=4 was
ignored and an older rawhide kernel removed. Not what I wanted, but
at least I'm aware (again) of it now. It's happened before.
