I'm having the same problem. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ====== making target install/linux-image-2.6.18-k8 [new prereqs: ]====== This is kernel package version 10.049ubuntu4. echo "The UTS Release version in include/linux/version.h"; echo " \"\" "; echo "does not match current version:"; echo " \"2.6.18-k8\" "; echo "Please correct this."; exit 2 The UTS Release version in include/linux/version.h "" does not match current version: "2.6.18-k8" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I fixed it by going into ./include/linux/version.h and adding this definition: #define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.18-k8" Save the file and re-run the whole make-kpkg command again (don't do make-kpkg clean, do the compiling one). It'll detect what it has already built and continue on. -- [edgy] linux-2.6.18 build fails with incorrect version in deprecated 'version.h' https://launchpad.net/bugs/63882 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
