If you boot the installer CD with "linux rescue" (is that the same as 
the rescue CD?) and let it find the system you want to rescue on your 
hard disk, it'll mount your existing system under /mnt/sysimage and give 
you a shell prompt into which you can do the chroot command, edit 
/etc/modprobe.conf and run mkinitrd. I did this myself on Saturday night 
when an FC5 upgrade fell over at the last moment.
