    Right. I assumed that Linus was calling mkinitrd but was being bitten by
    one of the occasional assumptions (I believe we make in that script)
    that certain things are always modular. I just mailed the maintainer,
    suggesting we screen against the one of the Modules.* files (perhaps
    Modules.order might become a good candidate in due course...).

    Jon.
