For simplicity you can just make one initrd with all the modules for

That was an option. But I was concerned that something might get
confused. So I kept them separate. I may try a combined one just for
kicks.

The openSUSE installation puts every conceivable controller module in its.
It's simple enough. In a system with only one HD, there's nothing to confuse.
If you want both ways, try giving a special name to the one with
"everything", such as initrd-2.6.34-12-universal.
