hey. i've never tried to run make-kpkg on non-debian'ized kernel source before (ie. normally i download kernel-source-2.x.x).
so i downloaded the source, cd'd into it and ran: make-kpkg --initrd --revision=2:adam.1.0 kernel-image and i get a package that looks and installs fine, but it won't boot. i don't have the exact error because i'm compiling the kernel again, but it's something along the lines of "root: not found" or something that makes me think that i've made a typo in my menu.lst but i haven't, it's all automatically generated by update-grub and is working fine for all my other kernels. is there somethign particular about building a debian kernel from scratch instead of from debian'ized source? is there somethign weird about 2.4.16? or did i just fat finger something in my kernel config and not want to admit it ... thanks, adam.
