My bad. I thought it was an in-core option, rather than an on-disk 
option. There's no need to make the change to mkinitrd.

Yes, FC2 has a 2.6-based kernel, but I was asking Bharata to test the 
merge John recently did of OpenSSI with the 2.4-based FC1 kernel. If 
you're certain that the problem will exist on this kernel (at least with 
the Lustre patch applied), then there's no need for him to do this test.
