Bad initrd image with Fedora 10 update

Yet again, I seem to be getting a bad initrd image with a Kernel update. On boot, the system will respond with:
mount: cannot mount /dev/root on /sysroot
The solution, as stated in the previous post, is to boot into a known working Kernel, and re-build the initrd image. Create a backup of the original before you proceed, then apply this command within the /boot directory as root (with the correct Kernel version instead of the example below):
mkinitrd initrd-2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686.img 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686
Now reboot and let it boot into the new Kernel. You should be good to go!
