Problem is
Are you planning to test several copies of the same kernel side-by-side? Why, may I ask? (assuming you're not a kernel hacker if you said "I just compiled a kernel for the first time"). For most people, compiling the kernel with all the features they're interested in turned on (or as modules) is enough and you don't need to keep around several copies of kernels with the same version. > > that when custom configuring the kernel, the modules directory becomes > > /lib/modules/<kernelversion>custom, which is fine for a single custom kernel, > > but no good if I want 3 or 4 of them with separate modules dirs. > > > > How do I force another naming scheme? Take a look at the main Makefile for the kernel. It starts with something like VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 4 SUBLEVEL = 18 EXTRAVERSION = -3custom This EXTRAVERSION is the variable you'd want to change before running make. You should probably do "make clean" after changing this and before running "make" again. -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, May 30 2002, 19 Sivan 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |New!
