What are pX and #X after the version displayed by 'uname'? As far as I
know pX is the 'patch set' and #X is the number of times the kernel has
been updated.
However, yesterday I updated the kernel (of 6.1 installed from the boot
CD and then FTP - some time ago) and p jumped to p10, while #X remained
zero. I thought pX changes only when world is built and #X should have
been changed to #1.
What I did was -
cvsup-ed src with tag RELENG_6_1
cd /usr/src
create MYKERNEL config
(just commented cpu I486_CPU and I586_CPU)
make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
reboot
My understanding is that as long as pX doesn't change then #X will be
incremented.
If you do another rebuild of your p10 system now then I would imagine
that #X would increase to #1 and will continue to increase until pX is
altered.
