I only see two thing: |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Did you set both |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
() Local version - append to kernel release |
| 62 |
[ ] Automatically append version information to the version string |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
In "General setup"? |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Second, you appear to have used a file called "localverion1" instead of |
| 67 |
"localversion1" |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Is that a real mistake, or just a typo in your mail? |
