No my customized kernel does not load an initrd.img file. It is also not 
generated during kernel compilation.
I am building it, using:
make-kpkg -rev Custom.1 --append-to-version "-20041218" kernel_image

and installing, using:
dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.27-20041218_Custom.1_i386.deb

Then the menu.lst file is filled automatically with this kernel (without 
initrd line).
