I checked that, these options are already set.
I also tried with with ext2 support compiled in or as a module (like in stock kernel's config).

neither worked :(
it seems to be initrd's problem, during make-kpkg's process. 
Do you know what version of cramfs/initrd-tools Herbert Xu uses for his kernel packages , or if he uses kernel-package in a special way ? 
I never had any problem with them (cheers, by the way). 
Or it might be just the kernel's prepatches that blow something up. 
I patched the source without using patch-the-kernel utility. would that be the problem ?

thanks, 
Daniel.
