Hi,

This is indeed possible. The easiest way to do this is to edit the top
level Makefile in the kernel source tree, and change the "EXTRAVERSION"
field value; basically what happens is that what you put there gets
appended to the "2.6.15.4" string, like /lib/modules/2.6.15.4-myversion.
If you are then careful to pick unique extraversion values for the
different configurations you want... you're good to go...

Does this answer your question?

Greetings,
