Nope. mkinitrd is pretty smart - if you don't have mdraid/dmraid/LVM
volumes, it doesn't bother putting the modules / setup code in the
initrd.

Then why do I get all the messages before udev up around the time
initrd is running about "no raids found" and such?

In short: don't bother, it won't change anything. But if you must.. kv=$(uname -r); mkinitrd --stuff -v -f /boot/initrd-$kv.img $kv

Yea, I finally realized I could find the code running mkinitrd
in the postinstall script for the kernel package and dug out much
the same thing. Weirdly, I get an initrd image that is almost
twice as big when I omit lots of stuff :-).

As Will said "Nope. mkinitrd is pretty smart" and he meant it. ;-)
