linux内核编译问题

在内核目录下输入#make menuconfig，进入内核的配置界面，配置好之后，输入#make clean来对内核中的一些文件进行清理。显示如下：
CLEAN include/asm-arm/mach-types.h
清理完成后，输入#make zImage对内核进行编译。
出了问题，显示如下：
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc
HOSTCC scripts/basic/hash
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/arm/Kconfig

*** Error during update of the kernel configuration.

make[2]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1
make[1]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2
CHK include/linux/version.h
Generating include/asm-arm/mach-types.h
make: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by `include/config/kernel.release'. Stop.
请帮忙分析下这个问题。
