thanks for your sir, but one more thing i like to know is that if all the modules needed by the kernel are in `initramfs` image then what is the need of the /lib/modules/<kernel version>?? won`t it be redundant?? On Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 11:18 PM, Mulyadi Santosa <mulyadi.santosa@gmail.com

hello experts,, I am on Fedora 16 and My current kernel is as per the uname -r output is 3.1.0-7.fc16.i686.PAE
I am compiling a kernel 3.4.1 and after the compilation the bzimage and initramfs are successfully generated.. then doing a #make install is giving error like this::
sh-4.2# make install sh /usr/local/src/linux-3.4.1/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 3.4.1 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \ System.map "/boot" WARNING: Couldn't open directory /lib/modules/3.4.1: No such file or directory
maybe you forgot to do "make modules" followed by "make modules_install" after generating kernel image?
