Bug 634441

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b4) Gecko/20100817 SUSE/4.0b-15.1 Firefox/4.0b4

I updated my kernel to -2.6.36-rc2-3-default from the kernel head repository and during reboot got a blank screen. Had to do a hard reboot.

during mkinitrd saw one warning that said ext4 module not found

running mkinitrd -v returns
