I *NEVER* had to screw around with mkinitrd in all my years (twelve, as of now...) of compiling kernels.
The last kernel I compiled was 2.6.18-something for Fedora 5. And like all the kernels before it, I just got the canonical TAR from kernel.org, dropped it somewhere, compiled it, copied the System.map and bzImage to /boot, and updated grub.conf I never, ever, ever have had to screw around with mkinitrd. In fact I only have a fuzzy idea of what it does!!
