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,
