I don't have the old boot logs, and have since upgraded the system 
further.  

IIRC, the boot was failing after not being able to find the root fs 
(ext3/lvm/raid0).  I thought it was a dracut issue, but it seemed to be 
fixed by enabling bootmem.

In this case, in the last few days (also when I first saw or noticed the 
bootmem option).  I was booting relatively recent linus kernels during the 
merge window, although my main work was being done on an older upstream 
kernel.
