Description of problem:
I will attach my modprobe.conf file where mkinitrd fails with the following messages: 
======================================================== 
mkinitrd -v initrd-2.6.13-1.1529_FC5smp.img 2.6.13-1.1529_FC5smp 
Creating initramfs 
Looking for deps of module sd_mod: scsi_mod 
Looking for deps of module scsi_mod 
Looking for deps of module mptbase 
Looking for deps of module mptscsih: mptbase scsi_mod 
Looking for deps of module mptspi: mptscsih mptbase scsi_mod 
Looking for deps of module qla1280: scsi_mod 
Looking for deps of module ide-disk 
Looking for driver for device sda5 
Looking for deps of module modprobe 
No module modprobe found for kernel 2.6.13-1.1529_FC5smp, aborting. 
=================================================== 
 
I am attaching the modprobe.conf. This works with 5.0.0 AND if I remove all the 
install statements above the ALSA section, than 5.0.3 works too! 
FYI 
 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mkinitrd-5.0.3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a modprobe.conf file contaning install statements for modules built into initrd 
2. Try to build initrd with mkinitrd 5.0.3 
3.

What does "modprobe --show-depends scsi_hostadapter" show?

Closing due to lack of response from reporter.
