The default Debian kernel packages build a rather complete (and large!) 
initrd which should run on a lot of machines without changes. You might 
face some troubles with renaming of devices (HDDs) though so it would be 
best to configure grub and fstab to use labels or UUIDs first (and also 
rebuild your initrd).
