I built the latest from rawhide and installed the 503 kernel. I did a:

mount failed" and it panic'ed. Removing the mkinitrd package and backtracking
to
mkinitrd-3.5.24-1 fixed the problem.
It may be new initrd. See, for example,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=129057
or searching for a label had problems for some other reasons. Did
you try to boot with 'root=<explicit_device>'? See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=129120
Although in this case switching to an "old-style" initrd did not help.
