Please try mkinitd-4.0.5 from: http://people.redhat.com/katzj/mkinitrd/
Just installed mkinitrd-4.0.5-1 and still get the same error.
Did you recreate the initrd after installing the new mkinitrd?
I just updated using up2date. Nothing else. If the installer did not recreate initrd then how do i proceed.
mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-ver ver where ver is the version of the kernel installed. Or, this will be fixed the next time you install a kernel (as the new kernel will create its initrd with the new mkinird)
