On "sudo make install", I get an output line as "update-initramfs:
Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.7.0-rc6-test". I have not gone through
Makefile though. So I think I am using the right tool on my distro (Ubuntu
22.04.03 LTS).
As you suggested, I also manually deleted and created the image using
update-initramfs (see [1]) after compiling the kernel. Still the same
problem.
