The modules.dep file is created by "depmod". Use "depmod 2.6.22" (I
guess it's "2.6.22-default" or something like this, it must be the
name of the /lib/module/2.6.22* directory to create a module
dependency file for that kernel version.  The initrd is generated
using the 'mkinitrd' script.

I must admit that I don't really know what you did. How did you
"reinstall" the kernel. If you use "rpm -U", it's clear that all other
kernels get removed. Use "rpm -i" in that case if you want to have
multiple kernel versions installed at the same time.



Thanks,
