I install the kernels with --nodeps and the boot up fine, the new initrd
also looks ok (has the pata modules etc.)
what was the reason for this?
a broken mkinitrd version between fc6 and the reuquired one that should
be avoided?
I know that a newer mkinitrd fixes an issue where creating a non-xen
initrd while running a xen kernel would leave a segfaulting initrd upon
boot into that new kernel. I suspect that is the reason (if there
aren't more) that the kernel requires it.
