Also, bug #183011 is probably the same thing

Some better details in bug 183011 comment 2 though, e.g. a good stacktrace.
Same problem in: kernel-2.6.15-1.1988_FC5.x86_64
It's not a kernel problem (so it'll show up for every kernel you install until mkinitrd gets fixed).

OK, later on I will try to experiment with the rawhide package and give back some results or confirmation of fixing.
I've just donloaded mkinitrd-5.0.29-1 fromn here and can confirm that the issue has been resolved. http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/mkinitrd-5.0.29-1.i386.rpm
