i tried compiling 2.6.8.1 and got some warnings during the make portion, but no errors. Then i did
make install and came up with this.
Code:
-bash-2.05b# make install
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
CHK include/linux/compile.h
Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready
sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.8.1 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map ""

mkinitrd failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1

any ideas on what may have gone wrong and what i can do to make it work ?
