Building a vanilla kernel on Fedora 12 or 13 doesn't need mkinitrd.
Make install, as root, works fine with dracut and builds the initrd 
with the kernel nouveau driver, that you've compiled as a module.
The _only_ tool you need to build initrds is dracut.
X works great on 12/13 with the driver from vanilla kernel, even the
2.6.34 on Fedora 13.
