+
+Yeah this is probably just udev not liking the fact that mkinitrd does
+not setup /run as a tmpfs mount.
+
+Dracut runs udev from the initrd and thus setups up /run etc.
+
+So please try installing dracut and regenerating the initrd: dracut -f
+/boot/initrd-3.1.4-desktop-2.mga2.img
+
+Make sure you have a working initrd saved just in case you need it
+before running this command: e.g. cp
+/boot/initrd-3.1.4-desktop-2.mga2.img /boot/arg.img
+
+This way you can always edit your grub command to specify this initrd
+manually in the case of a hideous failure!
+
+
+We'll likely be forcing dracut on people pretty soon anyway and might
+drop mkinitrd completely from mga2, so it's worth giving us feedback if
+you can :)
+
+Cheers
