Already did that. Here is exactly what I ran:

apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.17
cd /usr/src
bunzip2 kernel-source-2.4.17.tar.bz2
tar -xvf kernel-source-2.4.17.tar
cd kernel-source-2.4.17
make xconfig
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg kernel-image
cd ..
dpkg -i kernel-image(...extensions...).deb

Are you saying that installing the custom image .deb should 
have installed initrd.img? That's what I thought would 
happen, but it isn't there.

Thanks,
Jim
