Yes. I have nuked the odd stuff in my rc.local file, and rebuilt this kernel
with several mods that I thought might be related, but it is still failing in
the same manner. The error messages (apparently from lp:, but long after cups
has been started) do NOT make it to the messages log file either, so its
totally blown up at that point.

Note, that this is a regression from 2.6 31-rc3, which works fine. So the
thing shouldn't be that hard to find. But in looking over the changelog,
nothing obviously reaches out and grabs me.

I'm not really equipt to do a bisect here either, my git from F10 is at least
2 versions old now. And I'm crippled by a way too small /boot partition which
can't hold more than 12-14 kernels. The disk partitioning tool in F10 is
nothing short of fscking broken IMO. But fedora isn't interested in that
either, cuz its existed since at least Fedora 2. Here, fedora is on its way
out, 64 bit mandriva sure looks nice. And DiskDrake Just Works(TM).

Thanks Rafael, I thought it was being ignored.
