I look to the error in more details, the trouble is not kernel related but comes from: dmcrypt.pm from drakxtools-15.45-1.mga3.src.rpm which reads /etc/crypttab. This file reads #_dev_sdb1 UUID=fc6a594a-ee39-46e6-abd0-8123bd8d6241 #_dev_sdc1 UUID=4aa507cb-d3f2-4955-a6bf-8304412e2f13 #_dev_sdd1 /dev/sdd1 so, those guys seem to be commented which is apparently not supported by dmcrypt.pm and makes it crashes. If I remove those 3 lines, kernel install goes smooth and the initrd is created. I switched back the priority to normal, as that's quite a fine tuned bug. I may have even commented myself those lines a very long time ago, but I think dmcrypt should support the # as it is supported in fstab. Cheers. Source RPM:

drakxtools-15.45-1.mga3.src.rpm Yup, I would agree it should skip lines beginning with #
My perl is crap but this might do the trick:

Can you confirm this patch fixes it?
You can just install any kernel (kernel-foobar-latest with "foobar" any of "linus", "tmb", "server", "vserver", ...)
Colin's fix is OK but this is simpler/earlier. Just applied and tested the patch, with # or no # in /etc/crypttab and that works fine! Thanks Masters. Fixed in SVN thx to Colin Status:

Issuing the dracut command manually and afterwards works and generate the initrd: dracut --kver 3.8.10-desktop-1.mga3 Same errors with the tmb branch! Cheers. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
