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

Col
