mkinitrd fails if the specified storage modules are compiled into the kernel. This makes it unusable on s390 as any current kernels have them compiled in.

| /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed
| FATAL: Module dasd_eckd_mod not found.
| FATAL: Module dasd_fba_mod not found.

Herbert said: "Well if mkinitrd didn't check the existence of those
modules then people who don't configure them into the kernel at all
will get an unbootable system.

This differs from the 2.4 support, which don't fails in this case.
