So, changing kernel version changes the set of patches and headers to be used for the compilation. You should keep the kernel version as close as possible to the original version. E.g.: If you compile 2.6.18 from kernel.org then you can name it 2.6.18-prep But, if you recompile 2.6.18-164.el5, then you should name it 2.6.18-164..el5 Regards, Vladimir -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
