well, yes, to a great extend. Hardware detection normally is done within the scripts running from initrd. If you compile your own kernel and compile in only the drivers that you know you need, you don't even have to use modules. You also don't have to specify a initrd then. Hardware detection (and initialization) is then done only for the hardware you have installed in your computer.
