For the record, as a followup to the famours 
11dbd0bb5ba4b845e80109e990e4e780ca402218 quote, I now do something like 
this and it seems to work just fine:


%post
/usr/sbin/plymouth-set-default-theme script
/sbin/dracut -f /initrd0.img $(rpm -q kernel --qf 
'%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}')

%post --nochroot
mv $INSTALL_ROOT/initrd0.img $LIVE_ROOT/isolinux/


(at least as long as I don't use PAE kernels ;-) )
