This might seem lame but still, I would like to know about compiling a custom kernel using debian lenny.

the usual /usr/src/linux-2.6.N/make menuconfig;make ;make modules_install;make bzImage;make install dosent seem to work.

It only copies vmlinux* and bzImage file into /boot, but initrd and img files are missing..

why? The above method used to work perfectly in RH derived distros, in debian it seems diff...

Please respond.
