I understood it should have also append the numeric version and increment it each time I build that kernel. Anyone see where I'm dorking this up? I only see two thing: Did you set both () Local version - append to kernel release That one needs to be left blank right? Else what ever you put there will appear in kernel name and I'm using localversion files for that. [ ] Automatically append version information to the version string This one is checked. In General setup? Second, you appear to have used a file called localverion1 instead of localversion1 Is that a real mistake, or just a typo in your mail? Its a typo...

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.
