Yo,
was trying to compile 2.5.46 fresh from source on my ppc machine, and
initramfs gives me an err (in make bzImage):
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=arch/ppc/kernel
arch/ppc/kernel/asm-offsets.s
make[1]: `arch/ppc/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
Generating include/asm-ppc/offsets.h (unchanged)
Starting the build. KBUILD_BUILTIN=1 KBUILD_MODULES=
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=init
Generating include/linux/compile.h (unchanged)
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=usr
objcopy \
--rename-section .data=.init.initramfs \

objcopy: usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz: File format not recognized

ppc arch support for initramfs needs to be added...

oh... is there a way to disable the initramfs build in a safe way so i can
continue compiling the kernel without it

Nope, just hunt around the ppc mailing lists for a patch... I'm sure one
will appear very soon, if it hasn't already been created.

Or better yet, use the ppc 2.5 tree. Check out
http://penguinppc.org/dev/kernel.shtml, and get the linuxppc-2.5 tree
(based on the linux-2.5 one, so you can just pull into a clone of that
if you already have one).
