Background: SILO bootloader on sparc64 tells it is loading 3.6.0 when actually it is 3.12.0-rc2.

So it's in our image and silo is correct. It seems to be LINUX_VERSION_CODE in head_64.S - maybe it is nor recompiled? No, head_64.o is from yesterday. grep -r for LINUX_VERSION_CODE results in different values: ./include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h:#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 199424 ./include/linux/version.h:#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 198144 -rw-r--r-- 1 mroos mroos 97 Sep 20 21:56 include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h -rw-r--r-- 1 mroos mroos 97 Aug 10 2012 ./include/linux/version.h As it happens, 198144 is the value from Aug 10 2012 and it happens to be 00030600 hex. Here is the culprit, we are not rebuilding include/linux/version.h. -- Meelis Roos (mr...@linux.ee) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
