[PATCH] fix 2.6.18 initramfs issues

[Ben Thomas]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 705 bytes --]

2.6.18 has some issues with initramfs creation. After resolving the
issue, it was clear that this has also been fixed in 2.6.19. This
patch imports the changes from 2.6.19 to resolve the issue.

The signed-off-by line really only applies to the series file, as the
other changes are from 2.6.19
