Test2:  Sometimes she initrd's, sometimes she doesn't ...

I made two "test installs" on the same system.  One was with
partitions:

   hda2   /boot    Ext2
   hda3   swap
   hda7   /        XFS
   hda8   /tmp     XFS
   hda9   /var     XFS
   hda10  /usr     XFS

And one with partitions:

   hda2   /        Ext2
   hda3   swap
   hda7   /tmp     XFS
   hda8   /var     XFS
   hda9   /usr     XFS

In the first case, with the separate /boot, it did NOT install and
enable an "initrd.img" file.  *BUT*, in the second case, it *DID*! 
Interesting ...

P.S.  In both cases, I used a 3rd party boot manager with LILO
installed at the begining of the boot/root, respectively,
partitions.  Both booted fine.
