Are you sure your modules are working the way you packaged them? They are in a path containg "2.6.31-rt11-lab126", but in modules.dep you list them as "2.6.22.19-lab126".
Good catch- I've updated the first post and the kernel image with the correct path

As for the initramfs... I don't think we need it. The baseline config for the kernel is intact, and all the original fs support is compiled in. Also, CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE is unset, so I'm going to say no.

That being said, you could still easily brick. I've just been testing the modules (which work fine afaik).

Have a serial cable ready.
