Chuck, please do let us know as well how you're getting along with an
initrd. I'd be interested in any observations on this from someone who
hasn't been using it, and then has started using it.
While I've been building deb packages out of my own kernel builds with
kernelpackage for some time now, I've decided long ago, even during my
slackware-only days, that an initrd seemed to be too much of a hassle,
and as far as I could tell, it didn't offer any benefits over the
regular way, other that the kernel binary could be made even smaller
through compiling the ide and root fs stuff as modules.
