I installed RH 7.1. It came with 2.4.2-2 kernel. I then upgraded the
kernel to 2.4.16. While compiling the new 2.4.16 kernel I didn't not
set the EXTRAVERSION in /usr/src/linux/Makefile. Will this cause any
problem in the future?
What is the significance of this EXTRAVERSION? Can I choose any value
for this variable? Also, should this value always start with -, by
convention?
$ ls /lib/modules
2.4.16
2.4.2-2
$ uname -a
Linux wobble 2.4.16 #8 Tue May 14 14:15:58 IST 2002 i686 unknown
Thank you all for your time.
Cheers,
anna
