You can do it that way, but it needn't be. All my boxes run the stock
Redhat kernel which has just about everything as modules, but they all
still boot (despite being on HP SmartArray RAID controller and ext3).
To the OP: Did you verify if your custom initrd has all the modules
that you need? Boot into the stock kernel, make a list of modules that
are needed, and check inside your kernel/initrd etc. to see if you
have all those available at boot time.
