[ts-7000] Stupid 2.6 kernel question

I'm going to be building a 2.6 kernel with Matt's patch shortly for my 7260
but I wanted to check and see how the system did with the TS 2.6.21 kernel
first.  How do I properly create an initrd file for this kernel?  I need to
preload the sdcard module to work with my root filesystem and I notice that
the old TS 2.4 initrd image is an ext2 filesystem.  The initrd on my laptop
(running 2.6) uses a cpio / gz file.  The readmes I've seen are split on
this and I've never worked with initrd before.  Do I want to create a
cpio / gz file and will that work with redboot?

Does anyone happen to have a kernel and initrd image they would mind sending
me from Matt's 2.6.27 patches?  I really just want to test how some of my
software behaves under the later kernel before investing a lot of time into
it
