Hi,

My previous thread is

I have performed "
make mrproper
make gconfig (or xconfig or menuconfig here)
make
make modules_install"
successfully. however, when I do make install I received
"WARNING: Couldn't open directory /lib/modules/2.6.13.1: No such file or directory
FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.13.1/modules.dep.temp for writing: No such file or directory
/lib/modules/2.6.13.1 is not a directory.
mkinitrd failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2"

Please help what to do next??

Thanks,
Chandan K.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
