I don't know about the 2.2 Kernels, but I think all of the 2.4 Kernels
except the boot floppy image use an initrd. Here is a example grub
configuration, found through google:
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd0,3)
kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=Label=hda=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
best regards
