How do I rebuild the initrd?

Hi,
I need to know if anyone has the magic incantation to get mkinitrd to build a
proper initrd from either rescue mode or the live cd. I need to put a drive
into another box that has a different disk controller in it.
If I boot into rescue mode and setup a chroot, when I run mkinitrd I get
an error that says "error opening /sys/block: No such file or directory.
I also get the same error if I try to do the same thing from the live cd.
The resulting initrd is unusable because the kernel cannot find the root
partition.
I there a howto somewhere for this?
I tried google but either I am not looking for the right thing or it does not
exist.
Regards,
Tom
