Non-fatal POSTTRANS scriptlet failure in rpm package 
kernel-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64

Installed:
   kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.40.4-5.fc15

Complete!

Only it's not, there's no initramfs and the system won't boot. My system's 
been like it for a while now, the only fix seems to be to run dracut 
manually inside of "sh -x"

Running dracut in bash with no arguments works correctly, running with the 
two arguments:

dracut initramfs-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64.img 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64
should make me a lovely initramfs, but instead prints out the instructions 
for using dracut. This command works correctly under sh -x

So, my two questions. Firstly, not having an initramfs would strike me as 
a very fatal error, not a non-fatal error, why does this happen?

Second, does anyone have any pointers as to how I can fix this, it's very 
frustrating!
