When I upgrade the linux kernel

problem.
So, please just install the
“mkinitrd” and then can solve your issue.

Subject: Re: Re: Error while
compiling 2.6.10 kernel
Thanks. I downloaded the latest kernel(2.6.32)
from kernel.org and was able to compile it successfully. But during the
"make install" phase I got the following error:
[root@nayaka-lnx linux-2.6.32]# make install
sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.32/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 2.6.32 arch/x86/boot/bzImage
System.map "/boot"
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg: line 277: /sbin/mkinitrd: No such file or directory
mkinitrd failed
Not sure why "mkinitrd" binary wasn't there in /sbin. I suppose
system binaries should be there in /sbin. Or do I need to install that binary
explicitly? (which I doubt)

Hm, sounds like some kind GNU assembler glitches. It could be due to
2.6.10 is quite old whereas Fedora 12 is a shiny new distro.
OK, things to check:
1. before you do compilation, have you done "make mrproper" or
"make
clean" or "make distclean" to make sure there are no stale
object file
from previous compilation(s)?
2. If you do compilation on rather new kernel, say 2.6.29.x on this
Fedora 12, do you get same error?
3. In fedora 12, do you see package that represents kinda older gcc?
IIRC once in older version of Fedora/Redhat, this is named as egcs or
something like that.... If there is one, install it and use it to
compile the kernel and see it works.
