[Voyage-linux] Rebuilding Kernel and Distribution

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Lee,

Strange, I followed the similar steps using the SDK and it can't be built either.  But my official environment, which is 
still Lenny, works alright.  The problem is that once you build a kernel deb using the SDK (or Squeeze I suspect), 
debian live doesn't trigger running update-initramfs.  So I now updated the 099-voyage hook and explicitly force 
generating the initramfs.  Please checkout the latest code and try.

Regards,
Punky
