You could possibly still have kernel configured to use initrd but didn't run make-kpkg with --initrd option. Assuming you are not using initrd, look at kernel config and make sure you've compiled in support for IDE (CONFIG_IDE=y) [or SCSI (CONFIG_SCSI=y) if your boot disk is SCSI] and for your root filesystem. -- Jerome
