could you give us some more details about your setup, including actual
lines from your configuration.

There is no initrd image at that location.
What you find there is modified Mandrake rpm to support lvm2 in Mandrake

i saw this problem as well, i don't know if it is caused by some device
file missing in the initrd image or what.
