Interesting.  From my experience on my laptop, it's quite possible to 
boot F16 without an initramfs.  In fact, it boots faster.  However, if 
you try to install a new kernel when you've booted that way, you'll get 
a fatal error from grubby, and the new kernel won't be added to 
grub.cfg.  What version of Fedora are you running?
