Post Compiling kernel problem


Hi
I want to compile kernel but this error occur :

Ashkan:/usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34 # make
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
CHK include/linux/compile.h
/usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34/scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Cannot open 'y'
make[1]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1
make: *** [usr] Error 2

What that's mean? and what can I fix this problem?

I would guess you have CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="y" in the .config file. It should be a path or list of paths to the files used to create the initramfs. If you don't use initramfs, then change it to CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="".
