   I haven't used slackpkg myself (I have my own scripts and Makefile to   
   download and install security patches) and I don't have any initrd   
   installed as I use huge kernels. However, from what I have seen in   
   threads about broken installations after kernel upgrades and read in the   
   changelog I think that you will manually have to create a new initrd if   
   you are using a generic kernel.
