Not all systems are created equal. initrd is a rough parallel to CONFIG.SYS and drivers in WinDOS. initrd is created custom for your system when you install. If every possible driver was included in the kernel, the kernel would become too bloated for good performance or installation on a boot floppy. -- "A gentle answer turns away wrath."
