 The usual reason to use an initrd is because you need to load kernel

 The easiest way to make the initrd is to use the mkinitrd script included

+upgrading to the generic 4.14.44 Linux kernel using the packages
 found in Slackware's slackware/a/ directory.
 
 First, make sure the kernel, kernel modules, and mkinitrd package are 
 installed (the current version numbers might be a little different, so 
 this is just an example):
 
-  installpkg kernel-generic-4.4.14-x86_64-1.txz
-  installpkg kernel-modules-4.4.14-x86_64-1.txz
-  installpkg mkinitrd-1.4.8-x86_64-8.txz
+  installpkg kernel-generic-4.14.44-x86_64-1.txz
+  installpkg kernel-modules-4.14.44-x86_64-1.txz
+  installpkg mkinitrd-1.4.11-x86_64-6.txz
 
 Change into the /boot directory:
 
   cd /boot

 and since the disk controller requires no special support the ext4 module
 will be the only one I need to load:
 
-  mkinitrd -c -k 4.4.14 -m ext4
+  mkinitrd -c -k 4.14.44 -m ext4
