No. The initrd image is generated usually from the post-installation script= s=20 of kernel packages. These days these are utilities like update-initramfs,=20 which just get called in from the post-installation script of the kernel=20 package. So there's no way the OS vendor giving an md5sum, because there is no defau= lt=20 initrd shipped by the OS vendor.
