I tried removing those parameters and didn't get any useful
information. There are no kernel-oops. It starts detecting the
hardware, goes through it, and just before starting udev it stops.
Pressing any key gives you bash-4 terminal. acpi=off and other kernel
boot-options didn't show anything either.
It's just somthing with mkinitrd that causes the problem. As I said
f10 with kernel 2.6.27 works fine but cannot boot with 2.6.29.rc.
bacause of this error. See the bug report for more info.
it turned out that mkinitrd is the cause of the problem. After
upgrading to the latest version i can upgrade to the 2.6.29.rc.
