[root@debian kernel-source-2.6.8]$ make-kpkg --initrd --append_to_version -`date +%Y%m%d%H%M` kernel_image


date: too many non-option arguments: +%Y%m%d%H%M
Try `date --help' for more information.
Warning: The file include/linux/version.h exists
The contained UTS_VERSION string:
                        "2.6.8"
does not match expectations:
                        "2.6.8-"
I'll try and recover
Warning: You are using the initrd option, that may not
work, depending on your kernel version and architecture,
unless you have applied the initrd cramfs patch to
the kernel, or modified mkinitrd not to use cramfs by
default. The  cramfs initrd patch, is included in the 
Debian supplied kernel sources. New kernels on most
architectures do work fine.
By default, I assume you know what you are doing, and I
apologize for being so annoying. Should I abort[Ny]?
