No problems with 2.6.12. Regards
Turns out the problem wasn't with mkinitrd ( however, it had placed wrong module versions on the image along with the right ones ), but the halt was possibly caused by udev. Reiserfs and ide modules load properly (partitions etc are detected), but /dev/hdaX device files never show up. Don't know udev well enough yet to resolve this ; to best of my understanding nothing from userspace is running at this point.
There are some postings on the kernel mailing list for this week. It seems some backlevel versions of udev are the problem. SuSE has 0.50, the latest is 058, for all I know SuSE 0.50 may equate to 058 in the rest of the world, but I have had no problems with 2.6.12 on either x86 or x86_64. One other interesting point, I have all the modules that initrd is supposed to load compiled in and in 9.2 the usb modules used to load, but on 9.3 I found that mkinitrd was needed and last week I saw on the kernel mailing list a post saying that with the new kernels mkinitrd was a must.
