Hi, I found that I was getting this problem as well on fc6-x86_64 after I built my initial ramdisk as per Jarrod's instructions.
Since I had backed up my mkinitrd, I simply rebuild the old one as follows: mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r` That seemed to fix it. I guess I didn't need to rebuild the initial ramdisk to run X on the pvr-350's TV out.
