https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/i386/ch08s06.html.en Webpage quote: "Now compile the kernel: fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd -- revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image" Running the above command results in the following error output: Error: The revision string may only contain alphanumerics and the characters ~ + . If epochs are used, the colon : is also allowed The current value is: custom.1.0 Aborting. Upon checking make-kpkg --help it states the following, "--revision number The debian revision number. ([0-9][a-zA-Z.~+0-9]) (Must start with a digit)" The correct text on the website should be changed to, "Now compile the kernel: fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd -- revision=1.0.custom kernel_image" The kernel compilation now goes through successfully.
