IMHO, there should be a tweak which save kernel ID identifiers (like EXTRAVERSION) in the files output by `xconfig` (under the save config to file option)... That way, if you'd want to continue working on the firewall kernel (which doesn't have module support), I could LoadConfig and not have to worry about the version-ID messing up my normal kernel/modules when I make bzlilo and modules_install. Is there a solution to this problem, or is it better to just have separate source trees? > In the top level Makefile there are: > > VERSION = 2 > PATCHLEVEL = 2 > SUBLEVEL = 12 > EXTRAVERSION = > > What I've done in the past for my dual processor, is to build with EXTRAVE > RSION > set to nsmp or smp.
