I see Istvans problem - he is cloning systems, and that would make the
process very tiresome. No, I don't know who to build an initrd for a
system that isn't running. I think maybe Steffens suggestion of

Yes, I tried it. I have two problems with this solution:Boot off a rescue system, chroot into the drive, mkinitrd should work.
1. I don't know how to make an initrd image to the system if it is
not running. Do you know how to create initrd image for a system
which is not running?
