Please, could someone explain step by step how I can get rid of initrd stuff when compiling the 2.4.9.
As I wrote in this thread I was able to build my own 2.4.9 kernel using initrd and the related stuff. When using make menuconfig what else should I disable beside initrd support under RAM disk to avoid using initrd? Furthermore, I don't find the --initrd or --noinitrd options in my make-kpkg (7.0.4 potato). Am I using the wrong version of make-packaging?
