I did an installation and chose that option, to create the "targeted
initrd".
That gives me a system, which boots (the kernel boots), so the original
problem is solved by that.

But that leads to another problem: the system cannot find the root 
filesystem, /dev/hda and /dev/hda1 doesn't exist, the needed module
here is "ide_generic", which seems to be not in the initrd
(executing "modprobe ide_generic" gives no error, but ide_generic does
not appear in /proc/modules).

I already had this problem some times before, filed a bugreport too some
time ago, which has been fixed, but...

Reassign this bug to initramfs-tools?
