Yes. I couldn't be booting the new kernel if I hadn't. Anyway, I did find the Debian Reference Chapter 7 ( http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-kernel.en.html ) which helpfully says: Manoj Srivastava wrote: --initrd requires a Debian-only cramfs patch but which unhelpfully doesn't say how to get the damn patch! Next, it says: Herbert Xu wrote: No it does not, all you have to do to use a filesystem other than CRAMFS is to set MKIMAGE in /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf. Of course, it doesn't say anything about what you can set MKIMAGE to do that. My etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf says: MKIMAGE='mkcramfs %s %s > /dev/null' but no other mk*fs executable on my system takes the same arguments that mkcramfs does. It seems that make-kpkg can only build Debian-customized kernel source unless you really know what you're doing. Any pointers to how to build a generic kernel (with make-kpkg)? Thanks.
