I'm using the stock 2122 initrd, which is the same as yours. And it works, despite all the insmods that fail, they are not needed anyway. What I'm after is a mkinitrd that will run and put all those bits into an initrd init script regardless of whether the kernel has modules or module support. In short, loading modules isn't the only reason for using an initrd, but mkinitrd acts as if it is. Cheers Steffen.
