make-kpkg and 2.6.29.2 vanilla sources

[Raffaele Morelli]

Hi you all,

I am using vanilla sources to build a debian RT custom kernel using
make-kpkg.
Compiling goes very nice and ends up with a deb kernel package but make-kpkg
does't generate initrd using --initrd option! I had to generete it by hand
with update-initrams and the put the corresponding line to menu.lst in order
to boot.

I usually run latest stable vanilla releases and never experienced that
problem with make-kpkg.

Is it a bug or what?

regards
-r

Just did it on another machine with libgdal1-1.5, but I need this support
for libgdal1-1.4* on another one.
Does gdal-ecw plugin works for previous gdal releases?

I must say that running the standard configure && make works but I would
prefer not to do a make install against debian packages.
