Huh? Last F-11 kernel uses mkinitrd, not dracut. Fedora 11 never switched
to dracut as far as I know.
I will fix that backport side effects.

Are you sure it's a good idea? The latest nouveau for F-11 is from May 2009,
which is very old. Why are you changing the fallback for F-11?
nouveau in F-11
isn't much newer than nv
And nouveau was already the default by F-11:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NouveauAsDefault
As F-11 been EOL soon. The purpose of this update is to allow to use
lastest supported driver for cuda and others toolkits, beyond EOL (a
s. Now at some time, users of this updated driver may want to upgrade
to a newer Fedora, and enventually removes the drivers.
In this case, it doesn't makes sense to revert to nv than to nouveau.
For the record, this update isn't meant to be push in stable but to
stay in updates-testing.
