I might have missed a few messages on the list, so if this is a
well-known issue then feel free to disregard it...

When installing kernel26 version 2.6.15-2 there was a problem with the
ramdisk creation. /boot/kconfig26 contained wrong version in the top:

 % head /boot/kconfig26
 #
 # Automatically generated make config: don't edit
 # Linux kernel version: 2.6.14
 # Sat Dec 17 13:59:39 2005
 #
 CONFIG_X86=y
 CONFIG_SEMAPHORE_SLEEPERS=y
 CONFIG_MMU=y
 CONFIG_UID16=y
 CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA=y

Due to this /sbin/mkinitrd tried to create a ramdisk based on modules in
/lib/modules/2.6.14-ARCH. That dir didn't exist!

Modifying the third line to read

 # Linux kernel version: 2.6.15

and then re-running mkinitrd:

 # /sbin/mkinitrd --quit auto
 # /sbin/mkinitrd --quit full

created the proper ramdisks.
