I was running initscripts-7.93.5-1 from fedora-updates. I upgraded it
with the one in rawhide now (initscripts-7.96-1), but this only contains
rc.sysinit changes, correct?
Anyway, kmodule does seem more stable now. I also did an "alias floppy
off" and upgraded rhbg (see Daniel's post):

(boot time: 0:46, yay)
another interesting test might be the following:
disable readahead (both services), store the attached file as /tmp/files
and put the following near the top of /etc/rc.sysinit:
/usr/sbin/readahead `/bin/cat /tmp/files`
like this:
# Rerun ourselves through initlog
if [ -z "$IN_INITLOG" -a -x /sbin/initlog ]; then
exec /sbin/initlog -r /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
fi
/usr/sbin/readahead `/bin/cat /tmp/files`
HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname`
HOSTTYPE=`uname -m`
unamer=`uname -r`
this should make the boot almost diskless except for the first few
seconds.
