Look's like your mkinitrd can't handle the way the kernel-version is set
-> no working initrd is created.

If you don't need special modules loaded on boot from the initrd, it
should be OK. If not, don't build needed drivers and features as modules.

as Eric stated, quite off-topic and very very little info ...
- did you do a make modules_install ?
- where the modules copied to /lib/modules/2.6.23-rc4 ?
- what distro are you using, mkinitrd is totally different by distro and
version!
- is your box running out of diskspace ?
- are there special settings in the distros kernel-sources Makefile ?
If you don't know answers to these questions, you'd rather use the
distros kernel than trying to kernels from other sources ;-).
On SuSE -k list the kernel to use and -i the initrd to create, RedHat (
for ex. ) is totally different AFAiK!
Perhaps the maintainer of your mkinitrd can help you further.
