Seems like you pieced it together pretty easily once given enough info. Thanks for your patience Dirk. Nikos, thanks for your patience as well Any other posters I've missed... much thanks. Not only can boot with no initrd but bootup is very noticably faster than with the original kernel. Might even be close to %50 faster. Well anyway considerably faster. Now to take notes on the proceedures passed along in this thread and try to do my own kernel compiling next time.
