[OT] compiled kernels do not boot

[Hugo Vanwoerkom <hvw59601@care2.com>]

Hi,

I have tried 3 self-compiled kernels and they do not boot. They compile 
w/o errors.

They are compiled with 'make-kpkg --revision 1 --append-to-version -ck2 
--initrd kernel_image'. This is with an uptodate Sid.

I have looked at the initrd files with cpio and I see nothing wrong: the 
'init' file is there as it should be, etc. But what to look for?

I use legacy-grub and that just sits there with 'boot' as the last 
command, forever.

Does anybody have any suggestions as to what to try next?

I have used make-kpkg many times, but not in the last 5 months, and this 
has never happened to me.
