I thought that this was in the top 4 lines of the kernel Makefile. |
| 2 |
It's embedded in the kernel after the kernel is compiled. |
| 3 |
Example is from my servers below for the 2.4 kernel. |
| 4 |
The extraversion line is set to whatever I want...it just appends |
| 5 |
that to the end of kernel name...so if you want to have two 2.4.31 |
| 6 |
kernels you just change the extra version to something different |
| 7 |
to differenciate between the kernels. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Standard location is going to be /usr/src/linux/Makefile |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
*VERSION = 2 |
| 12 |
PATCHLEVEL = 4 |
| 13 |
SUBLEVEL = 31 |
| 14 |
EXTRAVERSION = -gentoo-r1* |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
*KERNELRELEASE=$(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL).$(SUBLEVEL)$(EXTRAVERSION)* |
| 17 |
