It sounds to me like you're building a custom kernel.
In the 6 or so years I've been compiling custom kernels, I haven't found any 
real need to use initrd images with them.
As long as the key drivers (usually filesystem and hard-drive stuff) are 
compiled into your kernel, you can generally manage to boot without an initrd.
