I was doing this like the conventional way of compiling my kernel and modules, and copying my modules to the place under /mod within the initrd image.
I notice that in your config file there are modules.
What is the suggested way to merge the modules within the udpcast-o-matic initrd and the modules created by make modules?
I had thought that I would just remove everything I found under /mod/lib/modules/2.4.26-udpcast (inside the initrd) and copy my own /lib/modules/2.4.26-udpcast content in there after a make modules_install . (I'm using genromfs to create a new initrd afterward.)
Perhaps I've just added too much to the kernel. If I just add the ethernet modules and ACPI support then this will be closer to what you normally have.

If you're compiling you're own kernel, I'd strongly suggest you use a locally installed makeImage tool rather than cast-o-matic to create your boot disks. Makeimage is included in the udpcast rpm, and is documented at http://udpcast.linux.lu/mkimagedoc.html
Makeimage is also included in the udpbusybox tar file at http://udpcast.linux.lu/current/udpbusybox-20040417.tar.gz
