Hmmm,  it's seems more complicated :) All depends on version of geninitrd - 
with geninitrd-8385-1 all works OK, when I've upgraded geninitrd to version 
geninitrd-9000.5-1 - any try to generate initrd failed (I had communicate 
something like "couldn't find module aacraid"). When I've downgraded 
geninitrd - initrd was generated.
Lately I had also problem with upgrade rpm from 4.4.2 to 4.4.9 - rpm database 
was cleared. Any --rebuilddb didn't help.
