Did you you check any earlier 2.6 kernels?
Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.11.4-21.7 Loaded 27512 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.6.11.4-21.7. Symbols match kernel version 2.6.11. <- NOTE No module symbols loaded - kernel modules not enabled.
In my experience, it's been the same with all 2.6 kernels, not just the latest YOU update but I don't see any negative impact on any of my systems.
Correct, it only reports 2.6.x, but in the original post, it seemed that the modules that were attempting to load was from a 2.6.11.x kernel instead of the 2.6.12 kernel. I still use mkinitrd from the DVD and have experienced no problems with any 2.6.x vanilla kernels I've built. One possible problem and the one question I didn't ask was exactly what the command line was when generating the new initrd, did it align with what was in menu.lst and what initrds were in /boot. I did give an example of my script for generating initrd. The practice here is to give a new name for every kernel I build, so that I don't damage the working setup if the new kernel has a problem where I messed up or left out something, so I can reboot to something that works e.g. in /boot 2.6.12-1 (The kernel, 2.6.12 is the previous kernel, 2.6.12-1 has some experimental patches for my PhoneSkype USB phone) config-2.6.12-1 System.map-2.6.12-1 initrd2.6.12-1 menu.lst ========= title 2.6.12-1 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/2.6.12-1 root=/dev/hda1 vga=0x317 selinux=1 splash=silent resume=/dev/hda2 showopts initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd2.6.12-1 # grep match /var/log/boot.msg Symbols match kernel version 2.6.12. # uname -r 2.6.12-1
Another reason to download and compile your own.
I don't see a reason. Do any modules not load on your system? or do not work?

Donn sent me a copy of the YOU /sbin/mkinitrd and it was missing quite a bit compared to the one from the DVD install. I just did an online update and it never offered mkinitrd, udev or hotplug, so my setup is the original from the DVD install, before and after /sbin/mkinitrd is the same size, date and time.
