mkinitrd errors.

[Chris Wakefield <c_wakefield@shaw.ca>]

Hi all.

Since 2.6.12.2 I've not been able to have mkinitrd output an image file.
I'm getting this error:
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed

with:
mkinitrd -o initrd.img-2.6.12.3 2.6.12.3

I'm not worried about the vga16fb or the resulting warning, just the fact that 
no image is outputted from this failed modprobe.  Curious problem with the 
find, wondering if mkinitrd is broken somehow?

Does anyone have any idea as what my problem is?

Thanks for any input.
Chris W.
