You do not need initrd ... that is only necessary for the stock 10.0
testing 2.6.7 kernel, which is missing many drivers which might be
necessary to access your root filesystem. The fact that your kernel
boots proves that it has those drivers built-in.

You might want to look into udev, but the "it ain't broke" factor is
not to be neglected.
