 |
|
How can I create variants of the same compiled kernel where the different module sets are available in /lib/module?
Let me given an example. Suppose I build 4.19.27-gentoo-r1 with a certain configuration and install it in my /boot and its modules in /lib/modules/4.19.27-gentoo-r1.
Now suppose I want to test a variant, i.e., with a different configuration, call it 4.19.27-gentoo-r1-variant. How do I make sure /lib/modules/4.19.27-gentoo-r1-variant is created and found when booting that variant?

equaeghe,
As long as you don't want any out of tree kernel modules you can use
| Code: | > General setup ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
┌──────────── Local version - append to kernel release ────────────┐
│ CONFIG_LOCALVERSION: │
│ │
│ Append an extra string to the end of your kernel version. │
│ This will show up when you type uname, for example. │
│ The string you set here will be appended after the contents of │
│ any files with a filename matching localversion* in your │
│ object and source tree, in that order. Your total string can │
│ be a maximum of 64 characters. │ |
Not all out of tree modules honour it.
