Jim-
When I built a custom kernel and provided my own custom label in the
kernel config (e.g. -ts-amd64-smp), the build_initramfs did not add this
information to the modules directory, so it would fail to build the
initramfs. I fixed it by adding the following line around line 166 and
editing the KERNEL_VER variable:
eval `grep "^CONFIG_LOCALVERSION" ${KERNEL_SRC}/.config`
KERNEL_VER=${VERSION}.${PATCHLEVEL}.${SUBLEVEL}${EXTRAVERSION}${CONFIG_LOCALVERSION}
This made it work. I don't know if this is the same problem that Jens
is having, but it could help others. I think the local version is a
newer variable that is kept in .config, whereas the other extraversion
used to be in another file, IIRC.
