I am glad this is the newbies list ;) The initial problem was # mkinitcpio -g initramfs-custom.img -k 4.5.0-eudyptula+ ==> Starting build: 4.5.0-eudyptula+ -> Running build hook: [base] -> Running build hook: [udev] -> Running build hook: [autodetect] -> Running build hook: [modconf] -> Running build hook: [block] -> Running build hook: [filesystems] -> Running build hook: [keyboard] -> Running build hook: [fsck] ==> WARNING: No modules were added to the image. This is probably not what you want. ==> Creating gzip-compressed initcpio image: /boot/initramfs-custom.img ==> Image generation successful # The cause of the warning turned out to be that I had built the kernel with an 'empty' config file. $ zcat /proc/config > config instead of $ zcat /proc/config > .config (note the dot on config) If I was more experienced I would have realised this when the compile time was so short. It was only while replying to Pablo with the steps I had taken to build the kernel that I noticed my error. So, thank you to the kernelnewbies mailing list.
