Carlos, why do you need to run mkinitrd yourself? Or do you need to update an RPM package?
RPM packages create the initrd automatically when needed, so a manual invocation should not be needed, I don't remember why I did the last time (last November), but did so. Probably because I did some configuration change.
For example, when adding/removing a filesystem in fstab that is read or something during boot (worst case, a separate /usr). Or when cloning a machine to a new machine. Or when replacing the hard disk. Others I now can't remember. When kernel fails to boot; then boot a rescue system, mount failed system, chroot, mkinitrd. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
