how exactly did you do that?  that is where i have finally gotten after 
making that kernel-patches directory (as you also just posted) and fixing 
the problem that grub no longer has a -19 version at debian.org (-20 seems 
to be working).  i made an iso image and ran into the same kernel panic 
because it seems to want a cpio image.  i have just rebuilt using the 
linux26.config file instead of busybox.config and will be booting in a few 
minutes to see how that goes...
