I am now able to compile my own kernels using `make all deb-pkg' on the 
vanilla source and additional hocus-pocus to create the initramfs, after 
having finally given up on using the Debian way (make-kpkg).

I can't seem to find the "kmemcheck: trap use of uninitialized memory" option 
in make menuconfig, section Kernel Hacking, though a search shows it should be 
there.

Will it be useful if I do such tests now that I've opened a bug report with 
data from slab_debug?
If so, how can I enable such feature?

P.S.: considering I'm just planning on using the kernel for the tests, I don't 
bother enabling options which hurt interactivity, as long as a terminal works 
well.

Thanks again,
