Ah, I see. the initrd is created at install time, not at .deb package building time. I inspected the generated .deb file and indeed, there is no initrd.img in the .deb file - the initrd is created when you actually install the package on the target system, which means it's the target system that

I tried building using make-kpkg with --initrd binary options, and ended up with a cpio archive. Why? I have no idea. I looked at the output of the make-kpkg command and was unable to determine which tool it was using to make the initramfs. I suggest some output be generated that shows not only

I've seen some posts on debian-devel from a while back which indicates some of you (Robert Millan) you've build a kernel using cdbs. I'm trying to do the same but ran into issues. My kernel is simple though, no modules, just the kernel. The problem I am running into is I have a target "kernel" in
