Why are you doing a make clean after the make dep?

It's been a while since I've customized a kernel... According to the howto they recommended doing a make clean after make dep. Perhaps this was an old howto?
Perhaps. The README in the src root dir is where the instructions that I use are.

Generally you do the following to build your kernel. (As defined in README)

make mrproper
make xconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

Doing the above will not give you a module-info file. I never found an isntance where I needed one. Also, are there any special reasons why are you needing an initrd?

SCSI driver needs one to boot, as I understand it. I could be misinformed...
Hmm. What SCSI driver? I included a lot of SCSI stuff in my kernel even though I don't use 80% of it, and I never need one. Perhaps you could experiment with it once you get everything running and let us know. I'd be very interested to hear more on this.
