On boot I get a kernel panic around [2.2]. The trace that's on the screen is
about smp, timers, hpet. Can't read quickly enough to see what actually
happened.
The kernel panic halts the startup process, or it continues to startup? If you have
shell access, use 'ip addr' to determine if you have network access. If not insert and
mount a USB stick. Then use 'journalctl -b -o short-monotonic > /mnt/journal.log' to
write out the journal for the current boot to the USB stick. Then you can reboot to the
working kernel and post it, or if you have network access you can use 'fpaste
<filename>', which if successful will return a URL which you should note. Then
post that.
/var/log/messages has no log of the kernel boot. Shouldn't there be one?
If the kp happens early and halts startup, then no, because rootfs is still
mounted read-only.
I can boot with the F18 kernel. syslog there shows logging started right at
boot:
Logging starts in any case right at boot, but it can't be made persistent until
the volume the log is to be written to is mounted rw. And that happens well
after the kernel and initramfs are running, after udev initalizes, and after
several dracut stages have executed, systemd has spawned a whole bunch of start
jobs, including fsck based on fstab, and then after fsck completes you get a rw
mounted /sysroot.

Sadly, it's a real kernel panic. Everything stops. I can't even reboot.
It's a good thing there's a power cord!
I'll copy what's on the screen, and submit it as a bug report. Maybe
someone smarter than I am can figure out what actually caused it.
Looking at the FC18 kernel, it seems to happen about when the serial
driver is initialized. Is there a way to disable the serial driver? I
tried serial=0 on the kernel command line. That didn't seem to work.
