Error while using mkinitrd of the initrd-tools (0.1.82) package

Hi

Following the change in the 'module_exists()' in the 
latest version of mkinitrd, I encounter the following
error when I use mkinitrd to build an initrd.

find: /lib/modules/2.6.13-rc5/kernel/drivers/ide: No such 
	file or directory

My kernel has ide built in the kernel. The problem, I 
suspect, lies in the print_ide_modules() call which assigns
none to $IDE_CORE and further calls print_module with 
'drivers/ide/ide-disk'. The module_exists() then complains
as it does not find any /lib/modules/2.6.13-rc5/kernel/drivers/ide
directory. 

Could probably have a check to see whether the required directory
exists before calling print_module() as follows:


--- mkinitrd.orig	2005-08-24 13:35:57.000000000 +0530
+++ mkinitrd	2005-08-24 13:39:58.000000000 +0530
