I have been wondering if kernels in Knoppix are compiled with --initrd option or not. I think they are not. Has nowbody installed Knoppix recently and remembers if initrd.img was created during hd install?
The problem is that initrd kernel needs either mkinitramfs-tools (depends of udev) or yaird and they are not in basic Knoppix. I would like to use old mkinitrd at this time.
I compile kernel in a Debian way to make .deb packages:
make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image
I use nowadays vanilla kernel ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.15.tar.bz2 with archck patchset http://iphitus.loudas.com/archck.php
