Then why does Linux not continue to boot when I specify a kernel in
grub.conf without an initrd?

The answer is: you have a sata controler. Output from your lsmmod:

ata_piix                6196  2

Make a kernel with this controler enabled:

Symbol: SCSI_ATA_PIIX [=n]
 Prompt: Intel PIIX/ICH SATA support
   Defined at drivers/scsi/Kconfig:452
   Depends on: SCSI!=n && SCSI_SATA && PCI
   Location:
     -> Device Drivers
       -> SCSI device support
         -> SCSI device support (SCSI [=y])
           -> SCSI low-level drivers
             -> Serial ATA (SATA) support (SCSI_SATA [=n])

Compile this into kernel not as module.

Sascha.
