You make this sound like some major big deal. are you running your own 
distribution? In most cases mkinitrd does the right thing when you "make 
install" the kernel, and if you are doing something in the build so 
complex that it needs options, you really should understand the options 
and be sure you're doing what you want.

Generally this involves preloading a module or two, and if you need it 
every time you probably should have built it in, anyway.

My opinion...
