Kernel panic with reiserfs as root

Does Lindows have a mkinitrd?  I know RH 7.3 did and Caldera had a script 
for it.  I've never had to mess with cramfs to use initrd and I used it a 
lot on Caldera.  However, on RH and Gentoo I make sure support for 1) 
devices - I have all SCSI disks- and 2) my filesystem - XFS is built into 
the kernel so I don't need an initrd.
