[gentoo-user] no matter what kernel version I compile, It says it's 2.6.19-r4
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 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
