OK, I'll watch that thread.
/sbin/mkinitrd is just a bash script, so it should be easily modified, 
I've done it with 9.0 and 2.6.x-pre kernels to get it work right. may be 
someone could send me a copy of the latest script .gz and I'll take a 
look. My guess is it's changed round about ---
        [ -L "/boot/$kernel_image" ] && continue
        kernel_version=$(/sbin/get_kernel_version \
                         /boot/$kernel_image 2> /dev/null)
        initrd_image=$(echo $kernel_image | sed -e "s|${regex}|initrd|")
        if [ "$kernel_image" != "$initrd_image" -a \
             -n "$kernel_version" -a \
             -d "/lib/modules/$kernel_version" ]; then
                kernel_images="$kernel_images /boot/$kernel_image"
                initrd_images="$initrd_images /boot/$initrd_image"
        fi
    done

Sid.
