 |
|
Hello all,
Is there a way to change the name of your kernel?? I would simply like to add an extension to it.
For example: | Code: | prompt$ uname -r
linux-2.6.22-extension_here |
Thanks

NiceGuy,
Edit the top of the Makefile, in /usr/src/linux ... add something to the EXTRAVERSION
You must then do make clean as all your kernel modules use the kernel name as a part of the version magic, so they must all be rebuilt when you do your next kernel build.
