I just did a yum update, updating to initscripts 8.31.1-1 (among other things like a new kernel). When I rebooted, init complained that

Yes, I did as well - I conjecture that the postinstall script of initscripts barfed, and thus the old inittab had been moved, but the new one not put into place. At least it isn't hard to fix *if* you know how to boot into single user mode from grub, remount root as read/write, and rename the file - in other words, a major disaster for a newbie, a minor hassle for an old pro.
I had a report on this issue from one of the testers.
