I have investigated a bit more, and stumbled on this: ts@xenon:~/kernel/linux-2.6.23-mm1-work> make include/config/kernel.relea= se ts@xenon:~/kernel/linux-2.6.23-mm1-work> cat include/config/kernel.releas= e 2.6.23-mm1-testing ts@xenon:~/kernel/linux-2.6.23-mm1-work> make Using ARCH=3Di386 CROSS_COMPILE=3D CHK include/linux/version.h CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h [...] Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready (#1) Building modules, stage 2.

So the content of the file include/config/kernel.release generated by "make" varies depending on whether I ask "make" to create just that file, or an entire kernel!? That runs against everything I ever learned about "make"! My ability to comprehend the inner workings of Kbuild ends here. I'll just skip this -mm release and wait for 2.6.24-rc1, hoping it won't have the same problem. --=20 Tilman Schmidt E-Mail: tilman@imap.cc Bonn, Germany Diese Nachricht besteht zu 100% aus wiederverwerteten Bits.
