Not for me, but building the initrd (or initramfs) may be distro-specific. You might have to share the command that was used for that and maybe even the script that was executed (like /sbin/mkinitrd -- where yours and mine are probably different depending on distros). Have you (your script) already run 'make install' at this point? AFAIK, that should have created /lib/modules/3.13.2/kernel/arch/ and some other subdirectories there. -- ~Randy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
