I had a look at that page but didn't find much unfortunately. I'll read
better later.

However, reading logs of kernel compilation i realized that it actually
faild to build a correct initrd image. I used to think it was
automatically generated, but seems that it can't find proper location of
modules.

I don't know how to continue now, and man mkinitrd didn't help much.

Can somebody explain to me how to do it? Or even point me to more how-to
style information?

Thanks

E.
