Hi, 

To build a initramfs image as part of kenel, the path to the build image
is needed. 
But if you start of a fresh kernel, you can not have the ramfs image
built for that kernel.

So, the way is to build the kernel, install all the modules into
/lib/modules/version folder, then build the initramfs image, include the
path in kernel config and again build kernel image.

Is this correct or there is a better procedure?

Regards, 
Prashant Batra
