However, that can't be possible because I now have access to my the tape drive attached to the ATTO SCSI card which I never had access to before when booting the other kernels. I have included relevant info below. Any ideas on what happened? I was hoping the kernel would be, 2.6.11.4-21.7-bigsmp.custom.
The kernel name does not depend on the name of the directory, but on the name you tell the kernel it has in its configuration file (var CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, accesible in the menu). And watch, your "/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.7-default" or "...-bigsmp." is now contaminated. You should get it again from the rpm. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFC0wxrtTMYHG2NR9URAsCwAJsGssbuC7RfDLjtD+ULurZ/ZQtIzACcDc5N TcjQeyxZnSgLyPvg+ylIJKo= =Bbdt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
