well, I don't think if that's the case. I included all the modules in the kernel <*>. I didn't set anything as <M>, you know if the kernel is gonna get customized minimally so let all the modules be <*>

Though another thought occurs to me.

If possible I'd avoid using an initrd at all. Just build your disk controller drivers right in, and give root=/dev/sda6

I think I am using my own initrd as I use the following command to create a linux-image n linux-headers in my directory:

Code:

make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-my-kernel linux_image linux_headers

So, if i attempt not to use my own initrd, I think i shall not use the above command. instead I will go for make, make modules, make modules_install, copying bzImage inside arch/x86/boot/ to /boot and rename it as vmlinuzxxxxx. I also need to copy the .config file to /boot/config-versionxxxx n finally update-grub, that's all.
I am gonna try installing the kernel as you said n post the result.

Uh, when I tried to load the previous command a minute before, i got the following failures:

Code:

acpiphp-ibm
ibm_acpiphp_init
acpi_walk_namespace
failed

I think this should all be kinda relevant to the controller device drivers.

MKDUMPRD(8)							   User Manuals 						       MKDUMPRD(8)

NAME

       mkdumprd - (Re)build the initramfs for kdump

SYNOPSIS

       mkdumprd [-h] [-q] [-f] [-k kernelver] [-i opts]

DESCRIPTION

       mkdumprd (re-)builds the kdump initrd. For kdump, a special initrd is used because

       o   the kdump initrd should include network modules and network configuration (and therefore is larger as the normal initrd used for
	   booting),

       o   the kdump initrd should use no splash screen,

       o   the kdump initrd includes kdumptool(8) and all required libraries.

       This script calls mkinitrd(8) with all required parameters. If the initrd already exists, it checks first if the configuration file or the
       kernel are newer, and only rebuilds the initrd if necessary.

OPTIONS

       All option parsing is done via the getopt(3) function, and therefore follows all standard command line parsing rules.

       -h | --help
	   Shows help output and exits.

       -k kernelversion
	   Specifies the kernel version. If no version is specified and also no kernel or initrd are specified, then mkdumprd uses kdumptool(8) to
	   find out the correct kernel and initrd.

       -K kernel
	   Specifies the kernel binary. If you specify that option, also specify -I.

       -I initrd
	   Specifies the resulting initrd. If you specify that option, also specify -K.

       -q
	   Be quiet. Don't output status messages. Used to call mkdumprd(8) from /etc/init.d/kdump init script.

       -i parameters
	   Append the specified parameters to mkinitrd(8) call.

FILES

       /etc/sysconfig/kdump
	   Kdump configuration. See kdump(5).
