Thanks.
arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper searches for the version string in vmlinux,
but now it gets two lines.

I will fix up as follows:


diff --git a/arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper b/arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper
index 55978f32fa77..5bdd4dd20bbb 100755
--- a/arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper

 if [ -n "$version" ]; then
