Well, anaconda doesn't run mkinitrd directly itself really. What

is that anaconda installs the kernel RPM, and the post-install script
for the kernel RPM calls /sbin/new-kernel-pkg, which runs mkinitrd (to
set up a suitable initrd for the target machine) and updates the
bootloader configuration to include the newly-installed kernel.
Since this is a function of installing the kernel RPM, it will happen
during both fresh installs and upgrades.
OK, thank you very much - I have learned a lot!
But how does this program /sbin/new-kernel-pkg know
_which_ scsi driver to install?
In my case, at least, it seems to make the wrong choice.
