What is you disk setup?  Did you use any custom partitioning?

I bet your problem is caused by this:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=389331

Applying that patch to nash, reinstalling it and then recreating the  
initrd should resolve it.

(Any chance for that bug being closed anytime soon?  It's biting too  
much people...)

I also see these warnings here, but they are harmless.  The default  
configuration hardcodes those modules in the kernel.
