I would recommend you use one of the pre-packaged kernel images, you gain nothing if you rebuild (assuming you use the kernel-source package from Debian). If you insist on building your kernel yourself, either o create your own initrd using other tools (you want to create your own kernel, why not create your own mkinitrd?), or o leave out the initrd entirely (building all drivers for the root filesystem into the kernel itself), or o build ata_piix as a module (CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=m), or o upgrade initrd-tools (0.1.64 should do).
