 Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2007 1:00 am Post subject: Kernel and header versions |
 |
|
The 2007.0 portage snapshot has a gentoo-sources version of 2.6.19-gentoo-r5,
and a linux-headers version of 2.6.17-r2. Do either of these versions track with
the Linux kernel or eachother? I'd have expected them to, but the 2007.0 kernel
works ok, and I've seen no problems so far. Must a 2.6.19 kernel have 2.6.19
headers?
Thanks for any ideas - Will |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember from my LFS years, that linux-headers is a distinct project with distinct version schemeing (that's based on the kernel, I believe)
I may be wrong, but if it works, leave it be.

It isn't distinct project.
