Irrelevant, as that initrd is generated automatically by a script whenever the kernel is updated by the vendor. > There must be a way to > statically compile code necessary to mount root from SCSI disks into > the kernel, the effect of which being no different than loading the > same code as modules from initrd. Sure, recompile your own kernel and compile drivers into the kernel instead of as modules. Then get a new piece of hardware and do the whole shebang again. Or get a new SCSI adapter and whoops, new Linux logo: black Tux on a black screen. No thanks. There are good reasons why modules were invented in the first place. Thank goodness the days where one had to compile a kernel before one could use Linux are long gone.
