+Well, it's just initrd updates really (technically you could fix up the
+initrd manually but it's a bit fiddly to go into the details of exactly
+how right now!) so updating the kernel isn't really a problem as you can
+just recreate the initrd again later as you've already done. You may as
+well uninstall kernel 3.1.3 tho' as it's just buggy generally and you
+likely won't ever use it.
+
+I just spoke to Harald about it and he informs me that the git version
+of dracut does the necessary mounting of /usr, so I'll look into
+creating a package tonight (hopefully - depends how successful my
+adventures into plumbing go this evening - my house is getting pretty
+cold without heating so it's the first priority!) and give you a ping to
+test. It'll basically involve updating the dracut package and then
+recreating the initrd as previously mentioned and rebooting, so it's
+pretty easy to test :)
+
+Cheers
