I have compiled a custom kernel, using 'make-kpkg clean && make-kpkg --initrd --revision=sage.1.0 kernel-image', 'sage' being the name of my machine. I then installed it, using 'dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.30_sage.1.0_amd64.deb'. I had thought that would be enough to create the initrd necessary to boot, but there is no initrd-image in /boot corresponding to the kernel, and (of course) none listed in /boot/grub/menu.lst for this kernel's entry. So (again of course) there's a kernel panic when I attempt to boot using this kernel. I tried dpkg-reconfigure on the kernel, but no joy. initramfs and initrd support are enabled in my kernel config. So can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (I'm sure it's obvious, but I'm not seeing it, and I've read the relevant sections of the Debian Linux Kernel Handbook.)
