Depends on which ones you're talking about. The ones on the above URL,
yes. The ones in the 5 repo? No.

mkinitrd is to make the 2.6.32 kernel work on RHEL/CentOS 5. The provided
mkinitrd doesn't know the correct module names etc. yum has the chroot
patch applied which makes it work for building guests.
