This is something confusing me so long. Is it neccessary to make the initrd file? I just remember that i have read quite a lot articles about compiling kernel on Linux, a lot of them do not tell that you must make the initrd file. I don't check the "RAM disk support" when "make meuconfig". Then should i really need to add the step of making initrd file?Perhaps you need to compile an initrd and you forgot to give the --initrd option to make-kpkg...Any suggestions are appreciated!
