I'm not familiar with Fedora, but usually the purpose of an initial 
ramdisk is to allow the use of a generic kernel with lots of loadable 
modules.  The initrd provides somewhere from which to load whatever 
modules are needed by your particular hardware configuration.

You can get rid of it by building your own kernel with all the required 
drivers compiled in rather than being loaded as modules.

The question arises though - why do you want to?
