Description Justin 2004-10-23 15:16:14 UTC
Tried the new CONFIG_LOCALVERSION option in gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r1, the kernel's modules go into the right place (/lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1BLABLA) but nvidia-kernel still goes to /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set CONFIG_LOCALVERSION to anything but blank
2.emerge nvidia-kernel


Actual Results:  
nvidia.ko went to /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/video instead of
/lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1BLABLABLA/video


the module still works, you just have to move it to the right place
