Sven,
thank you for your reply. Mine reads:
Linux version 2.6.14.3 () (root@localhost) (gcc version 4.0.2 (Debian 4.0.2-2)) #1 Mon Nov 28 12:39:26 CET 2005
So ...
1) the 2.6.14.3 is VERSION + the EXTRAVERSION I forced with make-kpkg
2) the debian source is empty
The suggestion was also to avoid name clashes, i.e.
linux-patch-debian-2.6.14_2.6.14-2_all.deb -> applied on 2.6.14
linux-patch-debian-2.6.14_2.6.14-3_all.deb -> applied on 2.6.14.2
linux-patch-debian-2.6.14_2.6.14-4_all.deb -> applied on 2.6.14.3
thus, compiling with one of the three versions should not result each
time in vmlinuz-2.6.14 but vmlinuz-2.6.14[.extraversion]
Best regards
