[opensuse] initrd

hey all,

its been awhile since i've had to compile a kernel, but i had to for
some things and i've installed it with no real issue, the thing is that
I used the old initrd file for my boot loader. Therefore it didn't seem
to load the new modules. Makes sense i guess. Anyway, i'm on a ppc and
i have not found an easy way to create an initrd image. Does anyone
know of any down and dirty howto for this ?
