I have buildbuilt my Linux kernel (3.0.1) for my raspberry piRaspberry Pi with thosethese following steps.:

1. Downloading kernel source
2. tar xvf source.tar.bz2
3. downloading arm cross compilation tool.
4. tar xvf arm-2010q1-202-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
5. setting up path for cross tool export PATH=$PATH:/home/shan/<cross tool folder>/bin/
6. after entering linux source dir make ARCH=arm versatile_defconfig (is this reliable   with raspberry pi)
7. make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
8. zImage is generated in /arch/arm/boot

My question is, how couldcan I build kernel.img.? I think it contains zImage + ramdisk but how could ican I build this? 

Can anyone guide me to making ramdisk and pack these two into kernel.img file? I want to boot this kernel in raspberry pion my Raspberry Pi.
