I am talking about the gnu/linux OS distribution that already exists on
your computer (debian, red hat, mandrake, suse, ubuntu whatever). How
you install a new kernel, particularly how you make an initrd, is
somewhat specific to that distribution, not to the kernel itself. In
other words, mkinitrd failures are not xfs related.

If you can't boot and can't load xfs, it won't work. If you can, it will.
