What the kernel tree creates by default is a very small stub, basically only
what's needed to make sure that *some* sort of initramfs gets created so the
kernel doesn't panic on a stray pointer trying to access an uninitialized file
system.

To create something that will actually boot your system, please see
'man mkinitramfs' or 'man mkinitd' or 'man dracut' or similar for
whatever tool your actual distro uses to build a functional initramfs.
