It was a custom kernel from the kernel.org sources.  I believe that I
need the cramfs/initrd kernel patch to boot this way.  The only place I can
find that is the debian kernels (the patch and others are included).
I think I need to use the source package and not the compiled .deb
cause I want to reuse my .config file.  Correct?
