Hi,
I don't know if the LKML is a technical kernel development list or a
newbie support list (or both?) so maybe I'm posting to the wrong
place.
You likely are.. and this is also quite distribution specific so a
distribution support forum would likely be a better place to ask.
Whether or not you need an initrd depends on whether or not drivers
needed to mount the root filesystem are compiled as modules or built
into the kernel. If they are all built in then you shouldn't really need
an initrd. However distributions usually use it so that the kernel can
be the same for all systems and simply load the correct modules.
