Hi,

I did it manually, no message at all, but the file is generated. Should 
this be generated automatic ?

[root at helios ~]# mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-2.6.24-rc3-git7-ahci.img 
2.6.24-rc3-git7-ahci

[root at helios ~]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=0
alias eth0 sky2
[root at helios ~]#

[root at helios ~]# ll /boot/initrd-2.6.24-*
-rw------- 1 root root 2472631  4. Dez 08:32 
/boot/initrd-2.6.24-0.66.rc3.git7.fc9.img
