Done that, to no effect. All I'm trying to do is get a freaking kernel
compiled and booted. I snarfed 2.4.13 from kernel.org, applied the
patches I need successfully, and compiled with make-kpkg.
I installed the resulting kernel-image, checked all the linking, built
an initrd with mkinitrd, dropped it in /boot, linked to it from where
lilo expects it, and ran lilo successfully.
At boot, the new kernel cannot find the ramdisk and fails to mount it,
then panics.
I never had these problems prior to moving to initrd stuff. 8(
