I did as described above, but when I boot the resulting kernel, I get
errors about
the nvidia module and the lirc_mceusb2 module missing.

I tried copying them from the /lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 tree to the same
locations in the /lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2944_4.fc6.cubbi_suspend2 tree and
rebooting, but that wasn't good enough.

I tried issuing "modprobe nvidia-1_0-9755" and got it loaded after the
fact, but
it apparently is missing from the initrd built when I installed the
suspend2 rpms.

Likewise, I suspect the same problem is involved with the lirc_mceusb2 module,
but I can't install it after the fact with modprobe because it
apparently needs one
or more parameters on the modprobe command line which I do not know.

How do I remake the initrd to include these?
