    Well, AFAIU, you compile your own kernel, with device drivers in
the kernel, instead of modules (not possible for all), and don't use the
packaged kernel/initrd provided by Debian. It is absolutely possible to
live like this, but it discards apt-controlled kernel updates (typically
once per month). Do you perform kernel updates, and how? And what kernel
source do you use, kernel.org or Debian?
