    Hm, missed those messages. I remember talk of adding the initramfs
    image to the kernel image itself, which keeps from having to change any
    bootloaders. But if this has changed, that's ok with me.

    Is any of this written down all in one place?

    If the files contain kernel modules, they need to come out of the same
    source distribution :)
