I haven't been able to boot the last 3 Rawhide kernels,
kernel-3.4.0-0.rc3.gitX.1.fc18.x86_64, where X = 2, 3, 4. The kernel
with X = 1 boots fine. When I try to boot the other 3, I get dropped
into a debug shell with dracut complaining about being unable to find
various devices. Today I got around to trying to figure out why.
Manually running "new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --dracut
--depmod --update 3.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc18.x86_64" spewed a large
number of lines like this:
WARNING: /lib/modules/3.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc18.x86_64/kernel/net/802/psnap.ko
needs unknown symbol llc_sap_close

Have I done something wrong, or are the recent kernels busted?
There was a change in how modules were put into the -modules-extra
subpackage with those 3 builds. It has since been fixed.
However, unless you needed those modules for booting for some
reason, I doubt that is actually the problem.
