It's because you have BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS enabled and that depends on building the kernel. But, granted, there is a bug: we shouldn't allow the selection of initramfs if Linux kernel isn't enabled. I'll cook a patch to fix this. Thanks for the report!
See http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2010-June/035737.html for the proposed fix.
Committed Thomas' fix, thanks
Actually that (building initramfs without kernel) was working fine for a while and I was using it. So the fix destroys a feature for me. Is this by design?
Ok, I can use the cpio built by buildroot. Ignore me. :)
