(error is on make: initramfs_data.cpi.o > failed) Hmm, I simply compile almost-self-contained kernels, without any initramfs. Slows down the boot and isn't needed for the usual IDE/SATA desktop PCs anyway. If you don't want to go that way, you'd better post the whole error. Maybe when doing "make V=1", and include some (10 or so) lines from above the error message above. -- http://www.holgerschurig.de
