That's what EXTRA_VERSION is for. On RHL, if one uses the suplied source it's always set to, and so the final name of the kernel reflects the level of RHL source used, but is different from the name used by RHL. And, if using source from ftp.kernel.org, the name also never is the same as the name of a standard RHL kernel. There can only be a problem if you build twice from the same source. To help there, keeping a known-working kernel is always a good idea. > > > > That's why i do it by hands :-) -- Cheers John.
