This is not correct. --revision doesn't do anything at all to the kernel name; it allows Debian packages to have different names even if the things being packaged have the same name. (Many people unfortunately have the same idea you had.) The reason that kernels built with different --append-to-version values have different modules directories is that --append-to-version actually becomes part of the kernel name. Kernels with different names have different modules directories. The difference between --revision and --append-to-version the use of these options is explained here and in the sections following: http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html#APPEND-KERNEL-PKG Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
