This is a snippet of the kernel configuration documentation :
~~~~~
Initial RAM disk (initrd) support
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
The initial RAM disk is a RAM disk that is loaded by the boot loader
(loadlin or lilo) and that is mounted as root before the normal boot
procedure. It is typically used to load modules needed to mount the
"real" root file system, etc. See <file:Documentation/initrd.txt>
for details.

Look at the config file for your kernel -- is CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
set to 'y'? If it is, then you need an initrd. The debian-packaged
kernels have this option set. My kernel doesn't, so I don't need (in
fact, can't use) an initrd.
