I'm currently compiling a custom kernel, and I want to know if a absolutely need to generate an initrd.img (mkinitrd) if I managed to have as less modules as possible...

Hi again steph_16th,

Welcome back to the forum - I hope to see you here more often in the future! Remember, if you only ever come here with questions, then the community will be unable to help you, so please post in some other topics as well as your own.

Yes, this IS possible and it should decrease your boot time a bit as well. HOWEVER: You MUST compile your SCSI drivers in with the kernel, rather than loading them as modules.
