Description of problem:
After setting up the modules.conf and building the initrd to include
sbp2, I cannot use a ieee1394 drive as my root disk.

I get the following boot log:

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.6-1.435.2.3.i686.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. move root partition to ieee1394 drive
2. set up modules.conf to support sbp2
3. rebuild initrd
4. boot
    

Actual Results:  See description above

Expected Results:  system should boot successfully
