I opted to compile the initrd-related stuff right into the kernel. When you use make-kpkg to create your kernel_image just add --initrd as a make-kpkg option . Change lilo.conf so the line reads 'initrd=/initrd.img' then when you run 'dpkg --install kernel-image?????.deb' it should all be done automatically. Regards, Terry.
