Hi Adam,
I can still init the RHEL 6 i386 root; the problem appears to be isolated to x86_64. I found that if I boot back into an older kernel, it works, so it is something about kernel-2.6.18-238.el5.x86_64. Any ideas?
The following two bugs list passing vdso=0 to the kernel as a solution for a similar problem. Seems to help in this case too.
