Did you compile with the '--initrd' flag to 'make-kpkg'? I don't think you can build an initrd of the image if you didn't (but I could be wrong). Try that and see if it works. note: I'm not a kernel expert so I could very well be wrong. -- Christopher Nelson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Children aren't happy without something to ignore, And that's what parents were created for. -- Ogden Nash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
