Hello,

I emerge a kernel, let's say gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r5, I create the
"linux" link, then cd inside
and compile/install it. I reboot and I get lots of errors from
modules, I do a uname -a
and notice that it still says 2.6.19-r4, i then check in the /boot
directory, and the links are correct,
then I check my grub.conf and it's correct, I then tried
gentoo-sources-2.6.20, still the same thing.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Gabriel
There is some more info, if I do :

grep -r 2.6.19-gentoo-r4 linux

I get :

linux/include/linux/autoconf.h:#define CONFIG_UNAME_RELEASE
"2.6.19-gentoo-r4"
linux/include/config/auto.conf:CONFIG_UNAME_RELEASE="2.6.19-gentoo-r4
"

but my linux symlink is from the 2.6.20 kernel, not 2.6.19-r4.... :

ls -la
total 3
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root  176 Feb  6 11:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root  496 Jan 31 20:42 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    0 Aug  3  2006 .keep
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   19 Feb  6 11:29 linux ->

linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r4 drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 1328 Feb  6 11:45
linux-2.6.20-gentoo


Thanks,
Gabriel

did you do a make menuconfig from scratch, or did you copy an old .config over from a prior release?

It looks like the latter may have happened and your .config does not agree with what is actually in the source tree.

Either that or you have a 2.6.19-r4 source tree thaqt is named 2.6.20

Thanks for your reply Alan,

I copied over my .config and did a "make oldconfig"
then I had to choose the new options.
