Bug 37444 – Error in build scripts for gentoo-sources 2.4.22-r3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nicholas Haggin 2004-01-06 19:09:21 UTC]

I emerged and tried to compile the latest gentoo-sources (2.4.22-r3) this evening. I noticed two problems:

1) The string reading 

Linux Kernel v<insert version here> Configuration

at the top of the screen in menuconfig still has 2.4.22-gentoo-r2 as the version number.

2) Performing a make modules_install clobbers the existing modules directory for version 2.4.22-gentoo-r2 instead of creating a new one for the new version. The output of make modules_install is attached.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd <kernel source directory>
2. make modules modules_install
3. ls /lib/modules


Actual Results:  
The modules that should have been placed in /lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r3 were 
instead placed in /lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r2

Expected Results:  
/lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r3 should be created and the modules installed there.

At the top of /usr/src/gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r3/Makefile change EXTRAVERSION to -gentoo-r3, that will fix the problem.
