DKMS version 0.32.04 is now available (tarball or RPM)

* Added support for 2.5 kernels. Specifically, if it detects that you are building for >2.4, it uses a generic make command (make -C $kernel_source_dir SUBDIRS=$build_dir modules) which makes use of advances in the 2.5 kernel series. Also, it doesn't do a make dep (though for SuSE, it still does a make CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=1 dep since I didn't know whether to take this out or not...advice?).

* Added SuSE initrd support. Now, if it detects the SuSE type mk_initrd command, it modifies /etc/sysconfig/kernel if REMAKE_INITRD is set and then calls mkinitrd which should remake all initrds which it knows about. Only during the final removal of a module are the changes removed from /etc/sysconfig/kernel. Because of this methodology, mkinitrd will often return exit status 9 since it attempts to remake all initrds and some kernels don't have the module you just added.

* Changed the kernel preparation stuff so that it does UnitedLinux prep stuff if it finds /boot/vmlinuz.version.h, but otherwise will do RedHat/generic prep routines.
