Like I said, the 2.6.21 might have problems with squashfs (IIRC).

The problem is a shell wildcard, something like vmlinuz-*-$FLAVOUR.
I'm not sure if this is wrong, but I had to work around it too (since
we used make-kpkg --append-to-version). Just name your kernel
something else and/or use lh_config --linux-flavours such that the
wildcard matches something.
