The only way I can see to protect from these mishaps is to keep backup copies of the initrd, made automatically somehow - perhaps a daily cronjob, storing them in /var/adm/backup/, for instance (only if modified, not really a daily copy).
Another way would be for the upgrade process to create a backup before writing a new one. If I ran dracut myself and forgot to back up the initrds, I would have only myself to blame, but with an otherwise innocent "zypper patch", I have to remember it before I hit enter, just in case.
I am not sure if this has been corrected, but I have seen dracut running several times during the same yast/zypper sesion. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
