No, this isn't possible because the kernel would be to big to fit on a install medium. I think you wish to use the autodetect feature of "MD" ? (else there is no difference to load the driver with initrd). The autotedect feature does not work if the driver for your harddisk is not compiled into the kernel. Since most drivers for disk-controllers are not compiled into the kernel, it would not help in most cases. Compiling all drivers into the kernel makes the kernel far to big.
