building a custom kernel takes a long time

[John McCabe-Dansted]

I used the instructions in
http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-kernel.en.html#s-customkernel

This worked fine... although the Ubuntu project has somehow worked around
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5979
With a custom initrd, and I don't know how to build a proper Ubuntu
initrd. Once I replaced the Davicom card everything was fine, though.
