Upon upgrading from FC14 to FC16 this DL380-G4 cannot be booted from any of the FC16
kernels. Still boots successfully from the old FC14 kernel.
The results when booting 3.1.0 and 3.3.2 are different. The results when booting
3.3.2-1.fc16.i686.PAE and 3.3.2-6.fc16.i686.PAE are identical.I followed the instructions
on
fedoraproject.org, modifying the kernel command line options to get debugging output.
3.3.2 - console output - both 3.3.2-1.fc16.i686.PAE and 3.3.2-6.fc16.i686.PAE

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill init!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point the system is locked up and there does not appear to be any way to retrieve
any init.log file. See the attachment for a screen dump of the final bits of the console
output. Because this computer is located remotely I don't have any way to access more
output than that.
All initramfs files for all kernels have the cciss driver, according to lsinitrd.
Neverethless, the FC16 kernels fail to boot.
3.1.0 console output
-----------------------------------------------------
....[lots of output]
dmesg | grep dracut >>> very many screenshots [ I have no way to save the output
to a file]
The last 7 screens of this dmesg output are attached.
From the emergency shell, the output of
dmsetup ls --tree --> No devices found
blkid --> no output
blkid -c udev --> no output
I am not sure what the initramfs is doing, but it appears to have trouble finding the
LVM/ext3 root filesystem.
