Justin and Ben, thanks for your comments!

When compared with the log of some newer runs (see below), it looks like the squashfs-modules-2.6.18-5-486 and unionfs-modules-2.6.18-5-486 were not included due to --linux-packages "none" during the lh_config. New runs: After doing the following in an empty directory, I get a binary.img file. lh_config -d etch -b usb-hdd lh_build 2>&1 | tee log In order to boot the from the USB device I have to do this: dd if=binary.img of=/dev/sda mount /dev/sda1 /mnt mv /mnt/i* /mnt/initrd.img mv /mnt/v* /mnt/vmlinuz vi /mnt/*cfg (edit names to initrd.img and vmlinuz) umount /mnt syslinux -f /dev/sda1 Without all this, the system complaints: Could not find kernel image: /vmlinuz.-26 At one run, I included --bootloader grub, but that didn't even give me the grub promt. My last run from an empty directory was like this: lh_config -d etch -b usb-hdd cp /usr/src/linux-image-2.6.20.19-rt_1_i386.deb config/chroot_local-packages lh_build 2>&1 | tee log The standard kernel boots ok after I made the above corrections. However the modified kernel stoppes during the booting like this: ... sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda loop: loaded (max 8 devices) BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-4) Built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) Does anyone have any suggestion what to do from here?
