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: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4588 if you're interested.
