new kernels not getting file-version [solved]

[clytle374]

Just got a new computer and been trying to get everything working, so I've rebuilt the kernel more times than I care to think about(gpu switching). Everything was good with the kernel build and install until a few hours ago.

Now when I do the make ; make modules_install ; make install

vmlinuz and System.map don't have -version appended to them. Grub ignores them without the version number. The modules in /lib/modules have the proper versioning.

I've even installed a different kernel and and built it with the default .config files in case I somehow changed something accidentally there. Same result.

I've toggled eselect kernel a few times as I had no other ideas?

Anyone know what causes this? thanks.

I originally used -dist kernel when I installed. I accidentally deleted

sys-kernel/installkernel-gentoo-7

was caught when I ran emerge --depclean

opps!
