Description of problem:
After installing todays fedora linux kernel update my system will not boot.
 - Opting to boot a previous kernel, 2.6.18-1.2868.fc6, works just fine.

System halt at boot, when executing scripts in initrd

On this system every time I try to install and then boot kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6
2. init 6
3. choose kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 kernel in grub
