Before I attempt this. Would it be wiser to just use uname -r to point 
to the modules already present in the kernels? Why would one need to 
copy modules over? What is needed to be contained within the initrd 
image and how would it be possible for this behavior to 
self-administrate itself with each kernel upgrade?
