I have upgraded F16->F17 with preupgrade and booting with F17 kernel fails. The reason is that dracut fails to find my root HDD (sdb). Module pata_atiixp has to be loaded for it to appear. This module exists in initramfs, but dracut does not load it... F16 initramfs loads it and boots OK. I am really willing to help nail this bug.

Dracut version is: 018-40.git20120522.fc17
failing kernel: 3.4.3-1.fc17.x86_64

Acctually F17 dracut on my system does not load any module at all (but I can load them manually).
F16 dracut loads not only pata_atiixp, but some other modules also.

It seems that initramfs regeneration fixed the problem.
