I haven't heard back from Naveed, who was going to test last night. I hate to ask for a new kernel if he was able to test.

But, this brings up a question I had. I am not familiar with the Ubuntu build procedures, so I'm just comparing to RedHat and Linux Makefile. In those build methods, there is a way to append an arbitrary string to the version (EXTRAVERSION) and it allows the kernel to avoid conflicts. Does such a mechanism exist for Ubuntu builds? Up to now, it seems that only numeric strings are being appended (e.g. "-21", "-90").
