Just a guess, since I'm not building a 2.6 kernel, but... I just went through
this yesterday with a 2.4 kernel I had to patch. I started with Debian's
config, make-kpkg yadda yadda, kernel panic. The stock config builds
everything in the world as modules. It requires an initrd or some config
tweaking to boot. Since twiddling everything necessary to get up and going
without an initrd can be time-consuming, I opted to just make-kpkg --initrd
yadda yadda and go that route.
