It is impossible to run modprobe normally in initrd, because the modprobe
is shortcut by nash. This probably happens because of SCSI root, which
makes mkinitrd to load libusual by mistake.

As a workaround, I suggest to unplug all USB storage, rmmod usb-storage,
rmmod libusual, then re-run this:
  mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.17-1.2586.fc6.img 2.6.17-1.2586.fc6
This ought to create an initrd image without USB modules.

I have a system which boots off SATA, so I'll try to tinker with this,
see if I can reproduce it.
