That does seem to make sense. However, when I try to boot from my module-
free kernel I get what looks like the same kernel panic I get when I try
to boot a module-enabled kernel without loading an initrd. So, I
thought I needed an initrd in all cases.
I managed to fake out mkintramfs-kpkg by creating an empty
/lib/modules/<version> directory. That allowed the kernel to install,
but on boot I get a message like "module RAID1 not found" (remember I'm
booting off an md RAID1 device). I verified that I'm statically
compiling in this support, but something is still broken somewhere.
I'll keep trying stuff, and hopefully post back a clean solution.
