Setting a version to local kernel builds has been discussed here so
sorry to bang on it some more.

I found information here from a previous thread and kept one of the
answers but finding now that I don't really understand it.

Or am doing the proceedure wrong.

It was Neil B's post:
[...]
   cd /usr/src/linux
   echo "-${MYHOST}-">localversion1
   [...]

But when I try this I get only the $MYHOST part (in this case
host=reader) and not the increment.

So for linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r1

and in /usr/src/linux
  cat localverion1:
   _reader_

It doesn't seem you followed the instructions correctly. I don't know if that's the cause of the problem, but the instructions said:

  echo "-${MYHOST}-">localversion1

but you seem to have used:

  echo "_${MYHOST}_">localversion1

instead.
