Hi Zac,
   It does in fact start with a "-":

VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 12
EXTRAVERSION = -gentoo-r3-RT-V0.7.51-11
NAME=Woozy Numbat

I found the same link yesterday but I thought I was doing that part
right. I checked it against a working Gentoo kernel and things looked
similar.

VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 11
EXTRAVERSION = -gentoo-r11
NAME=Woozy Beaver

I also tried the string using underscores instead of periods but that
didn't change anything about the message.

I think it must be something about the way the patch file changes the
Make file. I'll look there next.

Thanks,
Mark
