Thanks Holly for your contribution (always enjoy your analyses of these problems - one reason I love this list!) Yes, it has been configured and compiled - the last time being the link date Matthias pointed out was created: August 27. I guess I can always re-compile, etc. as Dave has pointed out - but I'd rather get to the bottom of this one first if I can. A gentoo forum search was talking about modversion.h being present in the compiled version, but I think they must have meant version.h - which I see is in the compiled sources - but not in the unconfigured/uncompiled sources. Mine in linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r4 contains: rugosa linux # cat version.h #define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.11-gentoo-r4" #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132619 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c)) This is dated Apr 3, the original compile date - not the latest Aug 27. I guess I'd thought it might have been re-made on re-compile. Don't know whether this might mean something?
