Not for me, but building the initrd (or initramfs) may be distro-specific.
You might have to share the command that was used for that and maybe even
the script that was executed (like /sbin/mkinitrd -- where yours and mine
are probably different depending on distros).

Have you (your script) already run 'make install' at this point?
AFAIK, that should have created /lib/modules/3.13.2/kernel/arch/ and some other
subdirectories there.
