Hello Marc I had a problem like yours a couple of months a go and if my memory is still working I resolved it adding initrd to the parameters that I pass to make-kpkg, this solution obviously only apply if your are using the make-kpkg command so the solution comes like: make-kpkg --initrd -rev MYOWN kernel_image and that's all. I hope this help Kind Regards. -- Sergio Basurto J. If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. (Isaac Newton) -- Yahoo! Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected.
