It seems you don;t use the kernel's Makefile to build your modules, which is a problem in itself. You should fix that first. > It gets added on if you are building from a git repository and you have > CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO set. Disable that and it should go away. Note that disabling this is strongly discouraged as the "annoying extra string" is extremely useful - it allows for exact version ideltification of the kernel you are using, including the fact that you have modified but uncommited files in your tree.
