Hi Greg,

As we've said before, you need to run "make dep" (and then make clean)
*after* changing the EXTRAVERSION, not before.  I normally make this
change (if I'm going to) as the first step (after make mrproper).  I
don't know if this is your actual problem, but I would strongly
recommend this change in procedure.
