I thought that this was in the top 4 lines of the kernel Makefile.
It's embedded in the kernel after the kernel is compiled.
Example is from my servers below for the 2.4 kernel.
The extraversion line is set to whatever I want...it just appends
that to the end of kernel name...so if you want to have two 2.4.31
kernels you just change the extra version to something different
to differenciate between the kernels.
Standard location is going to be /usr/src/linux/Makefile
*VERSION =3D 2
PATCHLEVEL =3D 4
SUBLEVEL =3D 31
EXTRAVERSION =3D -gentoo-r1*
*KERNELRELEASE=3D$(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL).$(SUBLEVEL)$(EXTRAVERSION)*
