Hello everybody,

today I patched myself up from 2.6.7 vanilla to 2.6.10 vanilla, but
after all patches succeeded, "make menuconfig" shows "v2.6.8.1
Configuration". Even worse, a compiled kernel calls in his bootlog
himself "2.6.8.1". When installing the whole kernel package, this
behaviour doesn't show up.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I could not find an answer in the
archives.

Have a nice day,
Viktor.

Check the Makefile, near the beginning:

# head Makefile
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 10
EXTRAVERSION =
NAME=Woozy Numbat

Put in the numbers you expect.
Do `make clean ; make` all over again.

Cheers,
Dick Johnson
