i understand that, but make-kpkg is supposed to (and always has in the
past) taken care of that for me.

further they are compiled into the kernel and it still doesn't work:

heyzeus(larry)$ egrep "INITRD|(EXT(2|3))" /boot/config-2.4.16
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y

hrm, okay IDE was a module.  i'm recompiling now.  i don't think it's
gonna make a difference though because grub should be able to access the
disk enough to read the initrd file and load the modules.

or maybe i'm dumb.
