RHEL 6.0 source code build error

[ShibuThomas]

Hi All,

It get solved.

The problem was the custom kernel didn't have there own initramfs file.

In my case I used the initramfs of the default kernel.Now I create new 
initramfs  of my custom kernel using the command   "dracut 
"initramfs-$(uname -r).img" $(uname -r)".

Finally it is getting working fine.

Regards,
ShibuThomas
