Ed, my F16 was a fresh install - Full install!
I did not ever create that frikin' directory.
I have no idea what rpm created it. I never
installed 64bit rpms manually.
The reason I was trying to create the initramfs
is because someone commented on the bug
(bugzilla.redhat.com) that the problem (panic
of kernel 3.3.8-1 at boot) may be caused by my
lack of the initrd line in the menu of that kernel
in grub.cfg. There was NO initramfs for 3.3.8-1
in /boot. So, I was trying to create one, in order
for the initrd line (which I was going to manually
add) would make the kernel successfully boot.
However, i read in another fedora forum, a user
saying that he does not have the initramfs for the
kernel he is booting, and it boots just fine.

You mean you chose to install "Everything"?  What made you do that?

I'm just curious at this point....

What is "ls -l /usr/lib64" showing?

It shows nothing, so I deleted it.
When I did a fresh install, yes, from each
category, I installed everything by clicking
on the link in the screen and it takes me to
all the entries in that category, and I select
every single entry - except when it comes
to languages - I do not select them, as english
is the default.
This has never caused any  problems with kernel
installations in the past.
I assume that if any selected packages conflict
with any other, I should have received a warning.
I saw no such warning during installation.
