initrd - kernel upgrade

Just a basic/quick question re. thread topic - am currently using kernel26 current/recently set up my mkinitrd.conf/added the noupgrade setting for mkinitrd to pacman.conf - everything's working fine - given the above, do we have to do anything regards the initrd we we upgrade our kernel?

thanks.

(I've put this in newbie since it's a basic question)

Re: initrd - kernel upgrade

No you don't, when you update your kernel pacman will call mkinitrd automatically in order to make your initrd image in /boot, but if pacman has updated mkinitrd package, then you might want to check /etc/mkinitrd.conf.pacnew as you requested *NOT* to overwrite...
