AFAICT.
I know why that is, i use --add-to-version=-powerpc for the build target, and --add-to-version=-powerpc-subarch to make the images. I don't know if kernel-package can do this, maybe it is too limiting, and i seriously am thinking about doing this all without kernel-package, which is too limiting i find. Friendly, Sven Luther
