rpm generated using kernel makefile

Hi,

I just noticed that the kernel rpm generated using the soure Makefile
ends up in the rpm DB as:

kernel-2.6.161.2080_FC5-1

although the $(uname -r) reports "2.6.16-1.2080_FC5".

In the kernel Makefile I had set extraversion=-1.2080_FC5

So, why on earth does the rpm have this weird name?? This is a big
problem since yum thinks -1.2080_FC5 is not installed while trying to
resolve dependencies for kernel modules.

TIA,
M
