Hi,

With a memory of the infamous "initrd killer" problem that is still
lurking in the background somewhere, something related to theme updates
is messing things up:

e.g. see the before and after listings for my /boot

Note that initrd.img is no longer a symlink....





Here are the RPMs that were updated. I strongly suspect one of the theme
updates, but we'll need to poke further:
