Just call dracut with the correct kernel version! $(uname -r) would take the 
version of the current running kernel. It seems the rescue system is running a 
different kernel, than your system will do. So you just have to run dracut:

# export KVER=2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686.PAE
# dracut -f /boot/initramfs-${KVER}.img $KVER
