If it's of any help, I'm having the same problem on my Sarge 3.1 - installed
from the new installer.
The stock kernels work fine accept for not recognizing my Plextor sata dvd recorder.
While attempting to do to /usr/src/linux (kernel-source-2.6.11) ,
fakeroot make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=.050525 kernel_image ,
make-kpkg does a wonderful job compiling, and putting things in place accept
initrd.img is missing .
Since i'm using reiserfs , I compiled it in the kernel .
I thought that would negate the necessity of having an initrd.img , but I'm
really not sure at this point .
Even make-kpkg -izing my stock debian .config file to custom kernel compile
failed to generate an initrd.img
So I'm guessing that make-kpkg is not liking to make any initrd.img's lately .
Too late tonight for any more compiling (would be the 4th time today!), and
holliday weekend comming, so
I'll have to put it off for a few days -
I just wanted to get my Plextor, sata-dvd recorder recognized - change #undef to #define ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI
in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/libata.h > recompile sources.
else I would have been fine with the stock Sarge.
