No... if the new kernel is 3.16.0-4, then the old one was 3.16.0-3. This is the reason why debian adds the extra digit to the version number and bumps it each time the kernel is updated. This goes out the window of course, if you build your own patched kernel and don't bump the version number. It it weren't for this, then you would not be able to choose to boot into the previous kernel version after an upgrade, as it would try to use the modules from the new version and fail. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJWeJURAAoJEBB5UWFcu6UWnbEH/RIk0ftRxlbI55/wLf3XGS+i hYSAjRnxcRYOG0FiOcgbJ+b5KcRPmtMhz1CDVYKQkmt3iIYwYuaJGBEpEk0h34dL MUFYRitWUM1FM9No4EHzeAHlx83C0YtxiBqofJMp4r5ugAzoXwRNgjSslx9AM+i4 i5ZORZkoB8UAyfbCfWhggeK4Wn2YUm310SQDLMiFdjcN/PlxGqXKKdhdabfisdjs nqsIthELcJDphGW6pRhtBoUWpzx7nryXR37dj5l87BZcjJCUAwgRiEfCb3TVU3pf 7aByZpy/6a85aCbWX/QBT/9N1i2GN3GPiDDiQsVhHcu9wVCGtXes62jZuyM/vgE= =NN+Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
