What to do after a dracut override?
Using Fedora 16 I just now updated my software updates again on 12/16/11 and most of the updates were the abrt bug report and logger packages that required restart. After restart it reads:
(override)

Now my caplock tab keeps flashing and the _ keeps blinking on the screen. What to do?
Try boot an older kernel. From there we can take a look and try to determine if it is a problem with dracut or your grub entry.
