Well, you may be missing a lot....as in you may have deleted more than
you've expected.

When I do mkinitrd I normally do "mkinitrd imagename `uname -r` to make
sure I have the correct name for the running kernel.

What the error is telling you is that
/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2122_FC5smp/modules.dep cannot be found.  You need
to make sure the kernel name is correct.

FWIW, /sbin/mkinitrd is a script.  Makes it easier to understand what it
is doing.
