Probably you should update to at least linux-v2.6.15-g117a93d. The script to determine the localversion[1] depends on .git/HEAD being a symlink.

Since 
	git-1.1.4-g2fabd21
.git/HEAD isn't a symlink any more (per default at least).

You can rebuild git with USE_SYMLINK_HEAD if you really want the old behaviour.

Best regards, Uwe
