Hi, sorry for the late reply. Thanks both to Tim Chen and Herbert Xu for 
your help!

In more recent git pulls from Linus' tree the kernel builds and runs 
fine using Debian's mk-kpg.

If it is possible to use git-bisect to find which commit fixed the 
problem I am happy to do so, or run any tools on the created initrd to 
see if there was a problem with its creation that caused the problem I 
reported against the kernel.

Regards,

Arthur.
