Yes indeed - nice find!  I was wondering what the "-um"
stuff was.  So the fix would be the second of my suggested
alternatives:

By the way initrd stands for "initial ramdisk".  It's where
kernel modules needed at boot time are stored, and makes it
possible (for example) to boot from a reiserfs filesystem
even though reiserfs is not statically compiled into the
kernel.
