I just grabbed modutils, initscripts and mkinitrd from rawhide. I'm not using initrd, but module loading on boot works very fine. I had to modify the ALSA startup script, though. One problem: rpm does not work big time. Completely broken.Gives aout a message teat it can access the db4 files. Rebooting on 2.4 fixes the problem.
