We would need to know a bit more detail about 'not accepting the kernel'
here.

Has the kernel you built been configured correctly for your target board?

Were there any traces from the serial console at the point of failure?

How are you building for your target, are you using Yocto?, Buildroot?,
or are you cross compiling the kernel yourself?

Looking through some of your other mail postings, I see you are typing
'make -j4' but I can not see what environment you are building in.

If you are intending to make modifications to the sources, I would
recommend that you use 'git', rather than downloading a specific version
of source tree from kernel.org, as this will help you track the changes
that you make.

Are you familiar with git yet?

You mention that you can not access github, but I see that you have been
able to access kernel.org ...

Are you able to 'clone' a git kernel using http? :

git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

To answer that question as carefully as I can:

The mainline kernel is suitable for all *currently supported* Renesas
boards.

For anything else you would need to contact the vendor specifically, or
a specialist consultant to support you.
