Oh, my. What a text corruption. Editing and resending.

Do you refer to that? (in menuconfig) If so, the answer is "no". It comes from here:
/usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE="" # CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST is not set CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-29-desktop"
And if you compile your own kernel, you must change it, or your build will replace the original kernel. If your's fails, you have no backup plan.
I hope I deleted all the strange chars that corrupted the display :-( - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
