I recently built a initramfs without modules on presice.
I got a lot of error output:
grep: /boot/config-3.2.33: No such file or directory
WARNING: missing /lib/modules/3.2.33
Device driver support needs thus be built-in linux image!
WARNING: Couldn't open directory /lib/modules/3.2.33: No such file or directory

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.2.33/modules.dep: No such file or directory
[last line 20+ times more]

but update-initramfs built a working initramfs.
So the FATAL error message is not a fatal one.
