SubjectRe: kernel version problem after patching
Date

To solve this error you have to edit the "Makefile" inside the
main kernel directory after you have patched the kernel.

At the beginning of the "Makefile" there are three variables
which can contain wrong values after patching. These are:
"PATCHLEVEL", "SUBLEVEL" and "EXTRAVERSION".
