True, especially because we run initramfs in SYSTEM_RUNNING state.

No, it was a lockup and the system just hung at the point forever, so the
lockup detection was right.

That too - happened with a pretty stupid 5-liner installation script that just
formats the disk and installs a set of customized rpms from CD.
The hw we installed this on is Asus Pundit-R boxes, which means, basically,
weird IDE setup (no secondary IDE --> harddisk on hda, CD drive on hdb) on an
ATI IGP chipset, not exactly the fastest out there.
