Heh, s'ok, thanks! I'm persevering with using make-kpkg seeing as that's
an education in itself.

And it's turned up something which is an extremely good point:

Warning: You are using the initrd option, that may not
work unless you have applied the initrd cramfs patch to
the kernel, or modified mkinitrd not to use cramfs by
default. The  cramfs initrd patch, is included in the
Debian supplied kernel sources, but is not present in
pristine kernel sources.
By default, I assume you know what you are doing, and I
apologize for being so annoying. Should I abort[Ny]?


Doh. I'm using vanilla kernel.org sources, no cramfs initrd patch.

That could well be it. Now I just have to find these patches and see.

Sarah.
