Do you really need it? It is only used if you have a scsi disk or something that you can't access to mount root, hence the correct module is loaded before, so you can.
It also happens to be useful if you are booting with your rootfs on LVM.
As SuSE's installer supports you doing this, keeping the ability to boot
with initrd support could be a "Good Thing [TM]".
If your rootfs is a partition (primary/extended) you probably do not
_need_ initrd.
mkinitrd is the command to build the initrd images you need. man is your
friend.
