Jean:
I don't think that dracut is the problem. I have two separate Fedora
installations. The first runs Fedora 14 64 bit and has not had any
problems booting. The second, running Fusion 14 RC 32 bit, exhibits the
identical behavior you have described. Both use the same version
of dracut: 006.3..fc14.

Thanks for the ctrl-alt-backspace workaround. Awkward, but it works.
