Description Tobias Oed 2003-06-11 12:55:10 EDT 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.0-10; Linux)

Description of problem:
Compile any of the red hat 9 kernels from the source rpms with  extraversion non null in the toplevel makefile. 

After make modules_install the modules are installed in /lib/modules/version-extraversion. 

When booting that kernel, the version (as reported by uname) doesn't include the extraversion part and so no modules are ever found.
Tobias

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-source-2.4.20-xxx.src.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile kernel with extraversion 
2. make modules_install install
3. boot the new kernel
    

Actual Results:  Modules are not found. (the first failure is by depmod at boot)

Expected Results:  Find the modules

the only way you can fudze with the EXTRAVERSION when you build from src.rpm is
to change the Release: field in the spec.
Comment 2 Tobias Oed 2003-06-11 14:22:33 EDT 
My fault. I meant compiling the kernel after installing the kernel sources 
from the rpm 
kernel-source-2.4.20-18.9.i386.rpm 
(same with -13.9) 
You don't have to edit anything, extraversion is set in the makefile.

Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2003-06-11 14:25:56 EDT 
ok for that you need to start with make mrproper
that way you can be sure version.h (the important part) gets remade
Comment 4 Tobias Oed 2003-06-11 20:25:21 EDT 
Ah ha! A make mrproper does indeed fix the problem. Strange that a fresh 
install of the sources from the rpm would require that though.
