naa initramfs-tools are in the archive an working for all arch
but sparc (klibc ftbfs there with gcc3.4/4.0).
the kernel-package does not yet use the initramfs-tools. you need to
invoke update-initramfs like this:
sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.13-1-686
(you need to specify correct kernel version aka uname -r)
