Nah, just me being sloppy in my syntax; I got the names right
(luckily) during the actual build (or did i ... interesting ...).

So it's the old one ... now, this is good, because on my other test
system the kernel date is correct and uname -v is correct ... so, i've
done something wrong and am gonna try it again ... i'm doing it at
work and probably too distracted by my annoying users! :-)

thanks for you help ... wish me luck on my second attempt!
