modules in Initramfs

["beyond.hack" <beyond.hack@xxxxxxxxx>]

hello experts,,
I am on Fedora 16 and My current kernel is as per the uname -r output is 3.1.0-7.fc16.i686.PAE

I am compiling a kernel 3.4.1 and after the compilation the bzimage and initramfs are successfully generated..

then doing a  

#make install

is giving error like this::

sh-4.2# make install

sh /usr/local/src/linux-3.4.1/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 3.4.1 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \

System.map "/boot"
