i had to compile ext3 and reiserfs and scsi into the kernel (not as a module) to solve it

Hello--
For whatever reason I can't boot up a 2.6 kernel (on Sarge-testing) without using mkinitrd to generate an initrd file. No Debian 2.6 HOWTO I've read has this step, and a friend who has build kernels on Woody-testing has never had to do it.
If I don't have an initrd and appropriate line in /boot/grub/menu.list, I get the following:
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Using mkinitrd (having it scan the directory with the 2.6.4 modules), copying the output to /boot, and configuring menu.list to use it makes my kernel work just fine.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
Thanks, Jeff
