After extra digging:
The initrd contains all the proper modules. mkinitrd fails to modprobe the
correct one.

As you can see here:

cat temp/loadmodules 
modprobe -k  capability
modprobe -k  vesafb > /dev/null 2>&1
modprobe -k  fbcon 2> /dev/null
modprobe -k  fan 2> /dev/null
modprobe -k  thermal 2> /dev/null
modprobe -k  unix 2> /dev/null
modprobe -k  megaraid
modprobe -k  sd_mod

megaraid is only used for the old controllers, while megaraid_mbox is for the
new ones.
The modules.* are correctly generated too, reporting the correct PIC IDs to the
proper driver.

Jeff can we get a workaround for this asap while we wait for initramfs stuff? It
is a blocker
to a certain degree for people that use these controllers.
