Boot the install CD/DVD.
Pick "Rescue an installed system" from the menu.
Answer the usual questions about language and stuff.
Don't bother to bring up the network.
Let it mount your partitions.
chroot /mnt/sysimage
cd /boot
Run ls to get the kernel version. (Use the latest installed.) This
will also give you the name of the initrd.
mkinitrd -f <initrd name> <kernel version>

If you do not get any errors, then type "exit" twice and the system
will reboot.

Here is an example from a fc9 virtual box.
mkinitrd -f initrd-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.img 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686
