So far as I know, yeah. I built an rpm and installed it, then booted
from the entry the kernel %post added to grub.conf, same as I've always
done... :)

Ya got me, but upon unpacking the initrd, modinfo tells me the bits in
the initrd have the right vermagic. However, the file sizes don't match.
In fact, they aren't even close.
# (cd /tmp/initrd-104/lib; ll ext3.ko)
-rw------- 1 root root 189096 2007-08-14 15:31 ext3.ko
# (cd /lib/modules/2.6.23-0.104.rc3.vsc.fc8/kerne/fs/ext3; ll ext3.ko)
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2719832 2007-08-14 12:46 ext3.ko
Okay, so I rebuilt the initrd and bounced the box... And there's the
expected kernel panic. So now I'm thoroughly confused as to where the
hell the modules that at least booted the system came from...
