[SLUG] ubuntu kernel build

[jam@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi
is anybody able to though more light:

To rebuild my kernel (its a long story ...) I do:

apt-get source linux-image-2.6.15-25-686
apt-get build-dep linux-image-2.6.15-25-686
unpack /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15.tar.bz2
link linux to linux-source-2.6.15
copy /boot/config-2.6.15-25-686 to .config
edit Makefile to make EXTRAVERSION = 
instead of the rubbish in there.(.7-ubuntu1)
make oldconfig
make-kpkg --append-to-version "-25-686" --stem linux -us -uc --initrd 
kernel_image

OK the trouble starts here:

dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.15-25-686_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
bla ...
Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-25-686
Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin

How do I add the splash image?
Thanks
James
