mkinitrd and encrypted devices

For fedora9 mkinitrd gives insmod errors with encrypted partitions
before asking for the paraphrase. I believe the cause is module naming.
Both modules aes.ko and sha256.ko were renamed in later kernels to
aes-generic.ko and sha256-generic.ko 

padlock: VIA PadLock not detected
WARNING: Error inserting padlock_aes
(/lib/modules/2.6.25-0.218.rc8/git7.fc9.i686/padlock-aes.ko: No such
device
WARNING: Error inserting padlock_sha
(/lib/modules/2.6.25-0.218.rc8/git7.fc9.i686/padlock-sha.ko: No such
device

Though the modules load successfully it would be nice to get rid of
these.
