Thanks for that.

Sadly this test shows things working as expected when you do it
manually. Lots of things included now in bin/ and a sensible size from
the resulting initrd.

You can probably boot to the new kernel using that initrd now. (just: mv
foo.img /boot/initrd-3.2.6-desktop-3.mga2.img)...

And yet again the problem hides itself... :s

I'm trying to debug the issue via:
<A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4588">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4588</A> if you're interested.
