Hey, what is that initrd stuff doing there? I'd say it is smoke..
Can you think of anything unusual in your configuration? Maybe your version
of kernel-package doesn't know how to deal with it.

If you keep having these "unresolved symbol" errors, then one might say that
installation was not really successful and that kernel-package should try to
trap these errors. But that is an "if", I don't know what is really wrong.
