I have fedora core 4 on my machine and I am trying to compile 2.4.18.
I am doing the following
From the top most directory
cp arch/i386/defconfig .config
make menuconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make bzImage
make install
Everyone of the above commands are running correctly except the last one.
It's showing the following error
/tmp/initrd.img.hJ9216: Permission denied
mkinitrd failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/exp_kernel/linux/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [install] Error 2
Kindly help me ..... thanks in advance
