Subject: mkinitrd failed

Hello list

I am rebuilding a 2.4.20 kernel on a RedHat9 system. After doing

make dep
make bzImage
make install

I get an error that mkinitrd has failed. The "RAM disk support"
and "Init Ram disk" sections of xconfig have been enabled. ANy ideas?

Thanks, DAniel

You don't have built/installed modules. Try this sequence:

make dep bzImage modules modules_install install

Hope this helps.
