What really confuses me about the attempts I was making is that in
my local.conf file I have explicitly asked for kernel version 3.8.11:

    PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto := "3.8.11%"

When I watch the build messages fly by I see that linux-yocto_3.8.11
is being built.

In my work directory there is a directory called:


tmp/work/qemumips64-poky-linux/linux-yocto/3.8.11+gitAUTOINC+8482dcdf68f9f7501118f4c01fdcb8f851882997_bbefde394205a1b317eae31942bfc13afce0b0ac-r4.1/

but when I got into the


tmp/work/qemumips64-poky-linux/linux-yocto/3.8.11+gitAUTOINC+8482dcdf68f9f7501118f4c01fdcb8f851882997_bbefde394205a1b317eae31942bfc13afce0b0ac-r4.1/linux

directory and have a look at the Makefile, I see:

     VERSION = 3
     PATCHLEVEL = 8
     SUBLEVEL = 4
     EXTRAVERSION =
     NAME = Unicycling Gorilla

and when I boot the image the kernel banner says:

    Linux version 3.8.4-yocto-standard (trevor@zzz) (gcc version 4.7.2
(GCC) ) #1 PREEMPT Tue May 14 11:10:07 EDT 2013

Can anyone explain the discrepancy?
