Hi,
	I was recompiling the kernel a couple of dyas ago, when my system
crashed.  Fine, it's happened before.  It said something about saving the core
 - I can't remember exactly what it said, It was too quick, and I wasn't paying
much attention.  Anyway, when it re-booted it came up with something like

reboot after panic:.

Once again this is normal.  So I removed the file from /var/crash.  Then I finished the make on the kernel (I was adding X support).  I installed the new
kernel, and re-booted yet again.  This time savecore says

Version mismatch
	version 1 date
	version 2 date
reboot after panic: garbage here

How do I fix this?  It is not essential, but would be nice.
