For problems like this, I like Rob's idea of having an always-running rescue guest that can link to other guests's minidisks and do repair activities. In this case it's probably no big deal either way, but I would think that having things not get done like mkinitrd and zipl would be a very rare exception, worthy of bug reports to your distribution provider. But, I never said people shouldn't do this, I just said it wasn't necessary, per se. There's a lot of things people do differently than I would. Unless it's likely to cause them problems, I'm fine with that.
