After installing the kernel and the kernel modules, without patching the kernel, then "uname" shows the right kernel version and in "/lib/modules/" there was the right directory created. But after patching the kernel, installing it and the modules, then the kernelversion shown with "uname" and the modules directory in "/lib/modules/" is not correct anymore. For example: If i download the kernel 3.14.19, patch it, and install the kernel and the modules then "uname" shows kernel version 3.14.0 and the modules are installed in "/lib/modules/3.14.0/" instead of 3.14.19 which would be the correct version. The same problem happens with other kernel versions too below 3.14.19 and also to kernel version 3.16.3 and versions below. But probably much more kernel versions are affected from this problem. If someone has an older kernel installed correctly, 3.16 for example, and wants to install a patched second kernel, 3.16.3 for example, then the modules directory of the first one will be overwritten unwanted due to this version error because both kernels have the same modules directory "/lib/modules/3.16.0".
