Unfortunately first time I tried was with 2.6.35-rc6 and it failed to boot. Failure when switching from initramfs to real /root? Removing kernel "quiet" param appears to show several lines listing: usb drives/hubs? followed by dracut switching root (when booting works) or usb drives/hubs? followed by (missing dracut... line) No root device found Boot has failed, sleeping forever.
