    Check that the identification line in your new kernel configuration file
    has been updated to the new file's name. For example, if you made a
    copy of GENERIC and renamed it MYKERNEL, the line in your new kernel
    configuration file should look like:

            ident MYKERNEL

    NOTE: it is case sensitive.
