You need to set the "local version" in "make menuconfig", or edit the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION variable in .config. Here's what mine looks like: $ grep rlj /boot/config-2.6.24smp CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="rlj_smp" $ dir /lib/modules total 32 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2008-03-12 17:41 ./ drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 8192 2008-06-19 13:42 ../ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-09-18 16:06 2.6.20.2rlj/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-09-25 17:32 2.6.22rlj/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-12-03 22:25 2.6.22rlj_smp/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-03-12 18:38 2.6.23rlj_smp/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-03-12 18:45 2.6.24rlj_smp/ - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA "Kittens give Morbo gas.
