kernel and udev/devfs

| I recently installed debian sarge on a bare box.
I need to have framebuffers running, so I grabbed the latest kernel
(2.6.14), configured it, and installed it.
I get a kernel panic at pivot_root that it can't find dev/console.
OK, so I grab the latest debian testing 2.6.12 kernel, configure it, and
install it. Same thing.
I have udev installed, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to
get the correct initird made. I've installed yaird, but now when I try
to make-kpkg I get a whole slew of unresolved symbols in the freshly
built modules when make-kpkg tries to make initrd....
Could someone please clue me in? What do I need to do to go from 2.4.27
to 2.6??? And why is this happening on my work box where I am under
deadlines????? :-(
TIA.....

Udev apparently does not work with yaird. See
<http://wiki.debian.org/InitrdReplacementOptions>.

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.
