Kernel Recompile Error

I tried to recompile the kernel after I tried to enable ieee1394 with
make menuconfig and this is what I get:

[root@c]/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5-i686# make
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by
`init/built-in.o'. Stop.
make: *** [init] Error 2
[root@c]/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5-i686#


Any help appreciated.
