When I try to compile a 2.6.14 kernel on my new laptop, I get the
following error:
x40:~/kerne/linux-2.6.14# make
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/compile.h
dnsdomainname: Host name lookup failure
CHK usr/initramfs_list
/root/kerne/linux-2.6.14/scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Cannot open 'y'
make[1]: *** [usr/initramfs_list] Error 1
make: *** [usr] Error 2
I simply don't understand what it's trying to do, and google doesn't
seem to know that error. Can anyone here help?

I am going to guess the help text is unclear or something, and you have
in your .config:
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="y"

Root cause is dnsdomainname that fails.
Try to do:
echo domain.com > /etc/dnsdomainname
or similar - depending on distribution.
That should fix the dnsdomainname issue.

Correct, the help text doesn't seem all that unclear, don't know what I
was thinking when I enter y.
Thanks.
