Also, I find that "make > modules_install install" does it automatically from a kernel build. 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...).
