Default Problem make-kpkg'ing a kernel on a newly upgraded debian distro

Hi

I just changed my sources.list to point to etch (testing) from sarge, and
had a lot of upgrades as a part of it.

Now, when I tried to compile a new kernel, I got a bunch of :

dpkg-architecture: warning: Unknown gcc system type i486-linux-gnu, falling
back to default (native compilation)

errors.

Upon interrupting and attempting to restart from a clean state, I tried :


make-kpkg --append-to-version="-rj"
--revision=".openafs.suspend2.comedi.alsa.slmodem.gp ib+09.25.2005" --initrd
clean
Warning: You are using the initrd option, that may not
work, depending on your kernel version and architecture,
unless you have applied the initrd cramfs patch to
the kernel, or modified mkinitrd not to use cramfs by
default. The cramfs initrd patch, is included in the
Debian supplied kernel sources. New kernels on most
architectures do work fine.
By default, I assume you know what you are doing, and I
apologize for being so annoying. Should I abort[Ny]?
N
debian/rules:1637: *** Error. I do not know where the kernel image goes to
[kimagedest undefined] The usual case for this is that I could not
determine whicharch or subarch tihs machine belongs to. Please specify a
subarch, and try again.. Stop.

How do I fix this mess ?

Thanks.
