Description Lori 2017-01-26 15:40:18 UTC

When running 'make menuconfig' in the kernel tree installed by the gentoo-sources-4.4.44 ebuild, it shows ".config - Linux/x86 4.4.43-gentoo Kernel Configuration". Also, when installing the kernel with 'make install', it installs vmlinuz-4.4.43-gentoo. I'm not sure if the kernel installed is actually 4.4.44, and it is just the version string that's wrong, or the contents are from 4.4.43.

There is a difference between the ebuilds for the two versions, 4.4.43 has genpatches 47 and 4.4.44 has genpatches 48.

Are you working in /usr/src/linux-4.4.44-gentoo or just /usr/src/linux? if it's /usr/src/linux, make sure you have used "eselect kernel" to point the symlink to the proper version

Comment 2 Lori 2017-01-26 15:47:58 UTC

Yes, I'm working in /usr/src/linux-4.4.44-gentoo, the only kernel version installed is 4.4.44, and eselect shows:

> eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
  [1]   linux-4.4.44-gentoo *

Can you post the output of:

head -n4 /usr/src/linux-4.4.44-gentoo/Makefile
