Bug#257822: kernel-source-2.6.7: building with debugging symbols results in an initrd image that can't be loaded

[andy@wolfsinger.com]

Package: kernel-source-2.6.7
Version: 2.6.7-2
Severity: normal


With CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y I get an initrd approximately 10x as large as
without, and the kernel won't use it. Full kernel messages to point
should follow soon.
