Here is how to fix the UTS error. Its very simple

I'll write this in very basic terms , giving the fullest explanation on what each step does

1. Navigate to /home/<username>/ubuntu/linux-2.6/debian/ruleset/misc/ or wherever you've the sources stored

2. Now fire up Terminal and then type

sudo gedit or sudo kate (if you want and then drag and drop version_vars.mk file or type its path. Its your call or you may issue sudo gedit and open the file via Gedit or via Kate. Few options here

Look for UTS_RELEASE_HEADER=$( , and change it to something like which I've showed below

UTS_RELEASE_HEADER=$(call doit,if [ -f include/generated/utsrelease.h ]; then  \
	                       echo include/generated/utsrelease.h;            \
	                   else                                            \
                               echo include/generated/utsrelease.h ;              \
	                   fi)

The important thing to change is include/linux to include/generated and version.h to utsrelease.h

Thats about it , recompile and thats it.

Thanks goes out to this lad :- http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-d.../msg10203.html and
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=377267

Cheers !

Basically to sum it up change include/linux to include/generated in version_vars.mk and replace version.h with utsrelease.h

Edit : Didn't realise someone has already posted a solution. This is the noob-friendly version on how to edit things for those who can't figure out on how to edit it.

I managed to get a kernel installed with video drivers. But I am sure
I have it not installed right. Here is the output with the video driver installed

I had reinstall my os recently with grub-legacy and then upgraded to grub 2 because I had Issues with grub 2 not booting into the OS from a fresh install.I also had to create an initrd image manually.I browse to the boot directory to find this.

abi-2.6.31-14-generic         memtest86+.bin
abi-2.6.31-16-generic         System.map-2.6.31-14-generic
abi-2.6.31-18-generic         System.map-2.6.31-16-generic
config-2.6.31-14-generic      System.map-2.6.31-18-generic
config-2.6.31-16-generic      System.map-2.6.32.4-custom

config-2.6.32.4-custom        vmcoreinfo-2.6.31-16-generic
grub                          vmcoreinfo-2.6.31-18-generic
initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic  vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic

initrd.img-2.6.32.4-custom    vmlinuz-2.6.32.4-custom

There is no abi or vmcoreinfo file info for the new kernel.
And I thought the lucid dkms package fixed this issue. Is there a way to manually create the abi or vmcoreinfo files. I have looked everywhere I could think of and can't find answers.Shedding light on this issue would be appreciated and I have posted in other forums with no luck. My specs are also included.

i've tried this one with 2.6.32-7, and the others, but it doesn't work. in the others, the directorys doesn't even exist, and in this one, it just keeps telling me:

The UTS Release version in include/generated/utsrelease.h
       "" 
does not match current version:
       "2.6.32.7-dude"

someone who's got an idea? this has been since kernel 2.6.32-4...

[master_kernel]

It has something to do with the version of kernel-package I've heard... It has to be 12.032 or later I think.

[feistybill]

I wonder... if we're just copying the previous .config (Ubuntu's default kernel configuration), why are so many users posting about losing wifi, lan, audio, etc. after recompiling?
By default Ubuntu recognizes almost 100% of my laptop's hardware, so if I copy its old .config I should still have support for that hardware enabled in my new kernel, right? Or is there something we lose in the process (modules? firmware?)

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=561569

correct. it was because of kernel-package. I downloaded kernel-package 12.032 from a lucid repo and started over and it worked like a charm.

[serein]

me again!
well. i updated kernel-package, and started compiling. everything went smooth, until i noticed that there were no initrd-packages made. i don't really know whether this is a problem or not, and if it is, if it's from upgrading the package or the newer kernels or the commands... i don't have a log yet, though, if it's wanted i'll post it after next compile...

[Lundis500]

I've tried several times to compile my own kernel, I follow the instructions for 2.6.32.5
What I get is a black screen and the harddrive LED is lit but nothing more.
If I select recovery mode I get a lot of text with drivers loading, it stops at:
[ 8.801729] sd 8:0:0:3 [sdh] attached SCSI removable disk.

Any ideas?
