AFAIK the default woody kernel doesn't use initrd. if you need one for some
reason (or you want to compile a new kernel with initrd) you have to run
'mkinitrd' and add an entry in lilo.conf. remember though that once you've
added an initrd entry, you cannot boot from a kernel without one. (or am I
wrong...).
