LinuxQuestions.org - What's up with Kernel 2.6.35.7? Annoying bugs while compiling...

hello, this is my x-th attempt to compile the kernel on debian lenny.

after solving the damn LGUEST issue, now i got an --append-to-version=-foobar issue?!
damn... much time wasted, again.

after make menuconfig and make-kpkg clean i start compiling with

Code:

fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-cpupmopt kernel_image kernel_headers

error log:

Code:

so where's the fault? just one/some modules not supporting a custom version title adding? wherefore is this option then?

are there more annoying bugs? maybe before the last 10 modules or static would be "NICE!" .... :( after 3hrs of compiling.

EDIT: since this is debian specific and i used make -j5 etc. for # of jobs in other distros, is there an option on make-kpkg for that? && any chance for resuming?
