A properly configured kernel has no need for an initrd or initramfs
configuration. If the kernel is configured to have disk and filesystem
drivers built in is it capable of mounting the filesystem(s) and thus
find any modules required.

so my advice; figure out the drivers needed to mount your filesystem(s)
and select those to be built in.
