[Rajesh Radhakrishnan <rradhakr@email.uc.edu>]

Hi,

I am creating the a custom 2.2.14 kernel using kernel-package. I gave
the following command,

make-kpkg -rev Custom.1 kernel_image

It went thru the kernel compilation process (after configure), and at
finally it gave me the foll error 

....
test -f System.map &&  cp System.map \
                        debian/tmp-image/boot/System.map-2.2.14
test -f System.map &&  chmod 644 \
                        debian/tmp-image/boot/System.map-2.2.14
dpkg-gencontrol -DArchitecture=i386 -isp \
                        -pkernel-image-2.2.14 -Pdebian/tmp-image/
chown -R root.root debian/tmp-image
chmod -R og=rX debian/tmp-image
dpkg --build debian/tmp-image ..
dpkg-deb - error: (upstream) version (`linux') doesn't contain any digits
dpkg-deb: 1 errors in control file
make: *** [kernel-image-deb] Error 2

Any suggestions....
Thanks
Rajesh
