As I mentioned, I am very new to Debian, so could I bother you to elaborate a bit on what you mean by the debian kernel package system, and how to use that to make a custom initrd (I am getting more and more confident I just have a case of sata_sil not loading).(i use aptitude to install packages, not apt-get, but feel free to use apt-get if you like) # aptitude install fakeroot kernel-package kernel-source-2.6.10

$ fakeroot make-kpkg clean the following on one line: $ fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=.20050224.0 --initrd kernel_image
Wow, rebuilding the kernel to add one line to a file in initrd is hardcore, but, I guess, that's the price to pay for good packaging. Probably worth it too. :)
I will try that now. Thanks. Andro
