I imagine this is because you don't have initrd-tools installed. For some reason the stock kernel images put this for depends: Depends: initrd-tools (>= 0.1.40), coreutils | fileutils (>= 4.0), modutils (>= 2.4.19) but when you use make-kpkg, it only puts initrd-tools in "suggests" Suggests: initrd-tools (>= 0.1.1), lilo (>= 19.1), fdutils, kernel-doc-2.4.18-ml350 | kernel-source-2.4.18-ml350 try installing that package and I think you'll be all set, that should probably be filed as a bug against kernel-package if it isn't already. -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
