Hi,all I have downloaded linux-16.tar.gz and compiled the kernel and installed it. On my machine there originally exists a linux-2.4.20-18 kernel. It is strange that when I booted from the 16 kernel, "uname" told me that I was using 20-18 kernel. What is the problem? In what way can I correctly judge which version I am using? Thank you very much. Best, melody -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
