Do you use grub?
Hi, I don't use grub (since I use Debian PPC). I compile the same way you do: # fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version "-flx0-ppc" --rev flx0 --initrd kernel-image You don't need an initrd, but then you have to make sure the drivers you need are compiled into the kernel, not as modules. I prefer to use the standard Debian kernels, but I needed an extra feature, so I just added that to the default Debian kernel configuration and recompiled. Now I have a lot of modules I don't need, but I prefer to have a (close to) standard kernel. Felix -- Felix C.
