Unless you built the ext3 file system drivers, as well as your disk
controller driver into the kernel, you have no choice but to create
an initrd for your kernel. You can not use one created for another
kernel. You can use the mkinitrd command to create it. (See the
mkinitrd man page on how to use it.)
To elucidate, as root:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -f -v initrd-2.6.26.5.img 2.6.26.5
Then edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf file and make sure the stanza you're
using to boot that kernel has an initrd line like:
initrd /initrd-2.6.26.5.img
in it.
