Could this be a problem of initrd/not initrd ? kernel-image-2.6.6-* contains an initrd image. But when I make-kpkg my own kernel, I don't make this initrd image. So I'm sure I have all the required modules compiled static in the kernel. BTW, there is a --initrd option in make-kpkg. -- Cedric "[Of course] I'm French!
