Question:  Why are you using crapy INITRD at all?

If you compile your own Kernel, put  all  modules  need  to  bootup  the
system INTO the kernel.  Put the Kernel onto an USB key and at  the  end
of the installation open a console <F2> and use "chroot" and  "dpkg"  to
install the New Debian Kernel on your target system.

After this you can run lilo and you are done.
