Hi,
I usually build my kernels from clean source, so I don't know if RH *and*
Mandrake do this, but I've been caught by this a couple of times:
When I build a new kernel, out of habit, I use make menuconfig, make
bzImage, make modules, and then make modules_install. I then fix lilo, and
fix the link 'current' to point to my new modules. This works ok if I
downloaded the source from kernel.org, as the modules go in to a new
directory, but if I compile the mandrake sources, my new modules overwrite
the Mandrake ones (unless I remember to back them up or change the tag at
the top of the Makefile).
Shouldn't the default tag at the top of the Makefile produce a kernel with a
different tag to the one compiled by the hard-working people at Mandrake?
