On two of my machines, the initrd does not get made; one fails with:
No dep file found for kernel 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5

even when I run

$ sudo mkinitrd -v /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 \
2.6.16-1.2096_FC5

while on the other machine, rpm stays for a very long time without
producing an initrd file:
$ sudo rpm -ihv kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5.i686.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:kernel-smp             ########################################### [100%]

No prompt appears again until I interrupt.

I don't understand why that is, and it is a problem for me.

I imagine that something similar is happening to you, yordy.

Any suggestions, anyone?
