It needs the /lib/modules/2* entries.
Run mkinitrd without an argument and examine the example. If you need to
force the reiserfs module, use -with=reiserfs:
]# mkinitrd
usage: mkinitrd [--version] [-v] [-f] [--ifneeded] [--preload <module>]
[--omit-scsi-modules] [--omit-raid-modules] [--with=<module>]
[--image-version] [--fstab=<fstab>] [--nocompress] <initrd-image>
<kernel-version>
(ex: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img 2.2.5-15)
The initrd is a gzipped ext2 filesystem. If you want to examine it,
# cp /boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img /tmp/boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img.gz
# gunzip /tmp/boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img.gz
# mount -o loop /tmp/boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img /mnt/disk
and then browse it to your hearts content. If you want to make any changes,
do so and "assemble in reverse order".
