[SOLVED] 2.6.30 compilation problem

[rakeshkumar]

hi
i am using fedora 12 with kernel version 2.6.31
i have downloaded kernel 2.6.30 and when untar and compile it

make menuconfig
make
and make install

make install creating vmlinuz and system map in /boot and giving an
error : /lib/modules/2.6.30 : no directory or file
/lib/modules/2.6.30/modules.dep.temp : could not find .....
what is the exact reason this error is occurring instead of creating initrd.img file

Installing a kernel isn't quite the same as installing other software.
Try this:

make
make modules
su -
make modules_install
make install

or

make all && make modules_install

thanks alot jayd .. i missed make modules_install which is essential to load modules before vmlinuz...
