No, from a running system.

I'm running kernel-2.6.14-1.1777_FC5.x86_64.rpm
and I upgrade initrd using:

    rpm -Uvh mkinitrd-5.0.15-1.x86_64.rpm

then rebuild the initrd using:

    cd /boot
    mv initrd-2.6.14-1.1777_FC5.img initrd-2.6.14-1.1777_FC5.img.old
    mkinitrd initrd-2.6.14-1.1777_FC5.img 2.6.14-1.1777_FC5

then reboot.  (With 1777 I reboot with "acpi=off irqpoll" because of
other bugs #176284, but the mkintrd problem occurs with all recent kernels)
