Hi, After lot of tries I finally discovered a configuration that works: I had to patch my stock kernel with the "devmapper" patch from Debian kernel patches. With the "devmapper" patch applied, mkinitrd works like a charm, and so does kernel package: I could build .debs for my 2.4.31 kernel and now they install fine (I'm now running on it). As I said in first message I'm using LVM2 but this is not part of the stock kernel (seems to be the primary reason for mkinitrd failure); Unfortunately LVM2 packages don't warn you about this when you install them, and mkinitrd error message is misleading (I didn't know at first that LVM2 wasn't available in a stock kernel).
