I should have given an example of what I meant.  I recompiled my Nvidia 
drivers and ALSA drivers and I had to be sure the packages that resulted 
would have the same name as the ones they replaced, so that the modules would 
be installed in /lib/modules/2.6.11-v3/ for example so I did not changed 

EXTRAVERSION = -v3

before recompiling the modules.
