Q:  your distro?  Debian and derivatives (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.) have all
in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and with modules in the modules
file.

?? kernel doesn't build initrd.img, that's the job of update-initramfs
or similar script run during kernel upgrades (or on a whim from cli).

Not sure -- doesn't look like anything in Deb distros.   Have you
looked in /etc/ for some kind of initramfs directory.  Must have a
configuration besides this (or what you have is not very
extensible/flexible).  Almost reminds me of Slackware.
