Ashish,
The error your getting may be that there is no initrd file for that kernel. (I
think that is the error msg it uses)
I have not used 'make install ' at the end, but it probably creates the initrd
file, however, if your moving the kernel and System.map then you will also
need to use mkinitrd (see 'man mkinitrd ').
