I also added support for modifying SuSE/UnitedLinux initrds. While this
already exists for RH type things, the mkinitrd stuff seems to vary per
distro. For UL, if REMAKE_INITRD is set in the dkms.conf, during the `add`
it modifies /etc/sysconfig/kernel and puts a reference in INITRD_MODULES and
during the final remove it removes it from this list. Then, as modules are
installed, it calls the generic mk_initrd command which remakes all the
initrds it seems to know about. While this might return exit status 9 if
some kernels don't have this module, this process seems the best and
simplest way to go about automating the initrd process for UL. Comments
always welcome (btw, we have a shiny new dkms-devel@lists.us.dell.com
mailing list for anyone interested).
