If you enable the initrd stuff, then you need to have an initrd and use it when booting. There is an argument to make-kpkg that will create an initrd as well as the kernel image (I have no idea wrt standard builds). I use grub as my bootloader and need to have an "initrd=/boot/initrd" (or whatever it is named) in my kernel arguments and then "initrd /boot/initrd" as the last command (instead of "boot"). HTH if you want to try the initrd stuff again. -D
