Or link or what ever? I don't understand what the software is doing, that the output of uname -r doesn't fit to some other string. More information is needed. Sure, Debian packages might be named 3.x for kernels 3.x.y, 3.x.z, 3.x.n. I like this, since I don't need to manually fix my manually customized grub.cfg, when such a kernel is upgraded and especially those kernels are updated and older versions automatically will be removed, while kernels build by myself are never touched. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
