Depends on how the initrd is built.
In Debian with initramfs-tools AFAIK it builds in most modules. I copied a
Debian installation from one ThinkPad to another much newer one and also
swapped harddisks between an older Dell and a newer FTS workstation and it
always booted.
Dunno about Ubuntu.
For initramfs-tools there is a configuration file in /etc.
