I will try to reproduce this in an vm tonight/tomorrow and will came back to you.
It should not show that line with the pached version - this is one of the fixes.

If I get it right you cannot see the kernel avaliable at boot? As per your grub conf you should see the entry of this kernel at boot. Can you try without hiddenmenu flag?

yes you got it right , but unfortunately after omitting the "hiddenmenu flag" , nothing new showed up !
also i`ve noticed that after applying the code u provided , and starts to build the initrd image , some of the modules gets ( bad subscriptions )
i dont understands what that should mean ??
waiting for your feedback..

So to sum up, this bug appears if you have more than 1 RAID5 arrays.
The reason is that the mkinitrd script tryes to load the kernel driver raid456 rwice or more(depends on you raid5 arrays, if you have 300 it will try to load it 300 time)

The fix is rather simple:

Code:
        
# only need to add each module once
    # MODULES="$MODULES $fmPath"
    case " $MODULES " in
        *" $fmPath "*)
            return ;;
        *)
            MODULES="$MODULES $fmPath"
            ;;
    esac

In the attachment you will find the fixed mkinitrd just run

Code:
# gunzip mkinitrd.gz
# mv ./mkinitrd /sbin/mkinitrd
# mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

And we are ready Smilie
