So the "make install" *should* have done the grub and initramfs update. Ubuntu screwed up (probably because Debian did). I wish they'd just fix it. The whole reason the kernel does that /usr/sbin/installkernel thing is so that distributions can do whatever magic it is they want to do for themselves. Linus
