I'm not sure about that. I haven't yet got my new non-initrd kernel
going (my solution to avoid messing with the initrd image), but the
howto I read definitely said to put
hda=stroke
on the kernel command line, but the module prefers
options="hda=stroke"
So they appear to want something different - or I'm misunderstanding
something, which is quite possible. I guess I'll find out by the time I
get my new kernel going :-)

They seem to report them at least, so there'd be a bit of junk in the
logs.

That's something I haven't had much success with. Is there information
somewhere about how the initrd image gets created? By d-i in particular?
Or does it come in the kernel package, in which case I need to set up my
module options somehow during the package creation?
Many thanks,
